Boron Bioaccumulation by the Dominant Macrophytes Grown in Various Discharge Water Environments

Element transfer at the soil-plant interface and accumulation strategies of vegetation overgrowing mining waste dumps in the Upper Silesia area (Poland)

“…All these find ings agree per fectly with our study. The same is true for B hyperaccumulation in shoots re ported, e.g., by Sasmaz et al (2021). The sam ple stud ied by Siebielec et al (2020) is one of the least Zn-en riched spe cies of a pop u la tion from Pol ish SWHs (as op posed to our spec i men from OEwiêto -ch³owice), with lower con tents only in S. gigantea (236 mg/kg) but much higher in V. thapsus and, es pe cially, Rumex acetosa (5100 mg/kg).…”

Accumulation of elements in vegetation spontaneously developing on self-heating waste dumps in the Upper Silesia area (Poland)

“…A par tic u larly high TF (8.25) was re corded for B, which sug gests the po ten tial of E. cannabinum as a bo ron hyperaccumulator. A sim i lar con clu sion was drawn re cently by Sasmaz et al (2021) who pointed out the use ful ness of this plant for en vi ron men tal de con tam i na tion or re ha bil i ta tion. On the other hand, bo ron is known to be an essen tial plant nu tri ent (e.g., Nejad and Etassami, 2020).…”

“…Fur ther more, translocation fac tors (TFs) were cal cu lated for Sl. canadensis, S. nigrum, and E. canna binum, to as sess the po ten tial of these plants as hyperaccumulators (McCutcheon and Schnoor, 2003;Wei et al, 2005;Sasmaz et al, 2021).…”
