On the methodology of analyzing plant litter samples in biochemical surveying
Authors:
Abstract
In the far north, under conditions of moraine deposits, plant litter serves as the source material for samples in biochemical surveying in connection with the search for copper‑nickel and polymetallic ores. After sampling on a predetermined grid (depending on the survey scale), the litter is dried, ashed, and its ash (usually by volume) is submitted for spectral analysis. Based on the results of the analysis, graphs of the content of copper, nickel, and other elements, or maps of isoconcentrations, are constructed. According to this scheme, biochemical surveying is currently carried out by production organizations.
