Spanish term or phrase: la mineralomasa
Please help me with this term. Does it refer to the mineral mass?

The exact phrase is:

A pesar de las concentraciones elevadas de algunos elementos en los tejidos vegetales la mineralomasa no resulta excesiva debido a lo reducido de la comunidad vegetal.

Thanks

agree  nweatherdon: It seems like "mineral content" would be more appropriate, but I do think they are actually referring to the mass of minerals as opposed to the distribution of these minerals for nutritional purposes, for example.
