Au sud de la province du Katanga (R.D.Congo), se développe une végétation unique sur des sols recouvrant une centaine d’affleurements de cuivre et de cobalt parmi les plus importants au monde (Arc cuprifère katangais). Le paysage de cette région est composé de collines isolées les unes des autres et présentant des communautés végétales distinctes selon la concentration en éléments traces métalliques du sol. Les savanes steppiques se retrouvent sur des sols faiblement contaminés tandis que les pelouses sont inféodées aux sols pouvant être contaminés à des teneurs avoisinant les 10 000 mg.kg-1 de cuivre et 1000 mg.kg-1 de cobalt. Plus de 600 espèces d’angiospermes métallophytes y sont retrouvées dont 32 vivant exclusivement sur des sols conta...
