Abstract: Biogeochemistry in mineral exploration refers to the geochemical method of obtaining information of metallogenic elements through the analysis of plant organs. Reconnaissance research conducted in various geochemical landscape zones including the arid desert, forest swamp areas, semi-arid low mountain landscape zone, humid and semi-humid low mountain landscape areas suggest that set a batch of plants are suitable for biogeochemical mineral exploration, which laid a good foundation for the application of this method. In the future, studies on the mechanism of biogeochemical anomalies, the establishment of biogeochemical databases and guidelines and the application of remote sensing of biogeochemical anomalies should be further strengthened in order to better utilize biogeochemical methods to serve mineral exploration.
