Potentially toxic metals from industrial and anthropogenic sources threaten the ecological safety of mountain ecosystems, which have remarkable geographical features such as significant differences in temperature, vegetation and altitude. In this direction, this study aimed to investigate the concentrations of cadmium (Cd), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) in plants from Mt. Madra. Furthermore, the distribution characteristics and source identification of potentially toxic<b> </b>metals were investigated with the application of Positive Matrix Factorization (PMF) modelling.
