Abstract
Presence of S, P, Fe, Ca, Co, Cr and Cu has been estimated in vegetative thalli (plant tissue) of Marchantia paleacea Bert. and the soil on which it grows indicating there by that this liverwort serves as a good accumulator of mineral elements present in the soil and may act an indicator of both aerial pollution and mineral enrichment in soil.
