The Okefenokee peat-forming systems are viewed as modern progenitors of coal. Plants form an intimate component of each peat-forming system and contribute organic and inorganic constituents to peat which ultimately becomes coal. Fourteen major and minor metals--Ba, Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pb and Zn--were determined in plants and waters from the swamp and marsh environments. The wide variations in: 1. (1) present source vegetation between the two major environments; 2. (2) past vegetational covers; 3. (3) metal distributions between plants of different genera; 4. (4) metal distributions between different anatomical components of the same species; and 5. (5) importance of anatomical components (i.e. stems vs leaves, etc.) as organic contributors to the peat, all contribute to the erratic metal profiles previously observed in associated peat. Furthermore, the variations in metal distributions in peat-forming systems may contribute to the often wide variations in metal distributions in horizontal and vertical directions in a coal seam.
