The research concern metallophytes and thallium hyperaccumulation at the former Raibl Pb-Zn mining site (Julian Alps, Italy). Furthermore, an ecological and genetic differentiation at regional scale among metallicolous and non-metallicolous population of the pseudometallophyte Biscutella laevigata was performed. Moreover, a hyperaccumulation of Tl in population was discovered and it was shown to not be correlated with Cs accumulation in the thallium hyperaccumulator, B. laevigata
