Description	Here we report on utilization of LIBS for investigation of copper and calcium distribution in different plant tissues and organs (pine-needles, leaves, twigs)of trees from remediation area of former copper mine in Smolník, Slovak Republic. The samples of birch (Betulapendula), poplar (Populustremula), spruce (Piceaabies) and pine (Pinussylvestris) were collected. For comparative laboratory experiments Piceaabies samples were chosen. Cross sections throughout annual terminal twigs cultivated in CuCl2 solution of different concentrations were prepared and analyzed by LIBS.
