Abstract
Copper content was analyzed in the parent rocks, soils, natural waters, and plants of the taiga and steppe terrains of Transbaikalia. The concentration of copper appeared to be low in the taiga terrains compared with the steppe ones. Extensive biogenic accumulation of copper was detected in the plants of steppe communities. It was shown that copper is selectively absorbed by different plant species from the same habitat and by a single species in different environment conditions.
