This article offers statistical analyses of trace elements (TEs) in soils and plants through a Pearson correlation matrix. The main objectives were the assessment of soil TEs sources and the evaluation of native plant response to physical and chemical characteristics of a TEs contaminated soil. Data were collected from Bagnoli brownfield site (Southern Italy). Interpretation of the data, can be found in “Identification of native-metal tolerant plant species in-situ: environmental implications and functional traits” [1]. The correlations in the matrix are based on over 76 samples and 31 site-specific environmental variables. Keywords: Data matrix, Plant uptake, Trace elements, Contaminated soil, Brownfield
