Abstract
The project aims at addressing the factors regulating composition and diversity of plant communities growing on copper-rich soil in Katanga and their associated mycorrhizae. (co)Variation of community structure of plants, mycorrhizae and soil chemical parameters will be anlysed across transects through natural "copper hills".
