Report concerning concentrations and enrichment capacity of Pb, Cd, Cu and Zn in 17 plants species and pioneer hyperaccumulation plant in Lanping lead–zinc mine area, China. Objectives of study were to increase knowledge of the phytoremediation qualities of the 17 plant species and to choose a hyperaccumulator to remediate area’s soils. Includes tables that show sampling, concentrations of metals, and enrichment coefficients. A. chingii was chosen to be the pioneer plant.
