| Abstract/Notes | Abstract In the Mangampeta barite mining area, physical (organic matter and bulk density) and physico-chemical (pH and electrical conductivity) properties, and the concentration of trace elements viz., Ba, Sr, Cu, Zn, and Mn were determined for three types of termite mounds viz., barren (devoid of any vegetation), monophytic (colonised by a single plant species), and polyphytic (colonised by more than one plant species) and their adjoining ground surface soils. A biogeochemical parameter called "Biological Absorption Coefficient" (BAC) [ratio of concentration of the element in the termite mound (C18) to that of its adjoining soils (C88)] of these mounds is computed which helps in the evaluatioo of the mounds in biogeochemical orientation surveys. These studies reveal that the mounds exhibit indicator characteristics for Ba, Cu, Zn, and Mn for use as tool in mineral exploration. | ||
