“…In addition, plant habitus and development also affect the uptake and accumulation of elements (Cesur et al, 2022). Therefore, all factors affecting plant habitus also affect the uptake and accumulation of elements into the plant, and plant habitus is shaped by the interaction of many interacting factors such as genetic structure (Ateya et al, 2023a;Kurz et al, 2023), environmental factors (Koç, 2022;Cetin et al, 2023), stress factors (Koç & Nzouko, 2022, 2023. Therefore, many of these factors, directly and indirectly, affect the uptake and accumulation of element potential in plants, and knowledge of this complex mechanism is still limited (Shahid et al, 2021;Isinkaralar et al, 2022).…”

“…Industrial movements have increased significantly in the last century due to industry developments worldwide. Mining activities carried out in order to provide the raw material resources required for increasing industrial activities have caused various elements to be extracted from the underground and released into nature (Ateya et al, 2023a(Ateya et al, , 2023bIsinkaralar et al, 2022;Kuzmina et al, 2023). Population movement in parallel with the developments in the industry has caused population increases in urban areas (Dogan et al, 2023;Zeren Cetin et al, 2023); thus, urbanization has become one of the irreversible issues worldwide (Varol et al, 2022) along with global warming (Tekin et al, 2022;Cobanoglu et al, 2024).…”

Heavy metal pollution is one of the most critical concerns threatening environmental and individual health worldwide in the last century. Heavy metals in the air have particular importance due to their effects on human health. Therefore, watching the difference in heavy metal pollution in the airborne is extremely important. Tree annual rings are the most efficient biomonitors used to define the differences in heavy metal concentration levels in the airborne during the years. However, the accumulation of each element in tree annual rings varies depending on the species. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the species that can be used as biomonitors separately in determining the difference in the concentration of each element in the air over the years. This study aimed to determine the variation of Aluminum (Al) concentration in the air in the last 30 years in Ankara city center by using the annual rings of Platanus orientalis, Elaeagnus angustifolia L., Koelreuteria paniculata Laxm, Cedrus atlantica (Endl.) Manetti ex Carr. Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle trees. As a result, the maximum aluminum concentrations were found in the outer bark of all species. The maximum concentrations were found in Platanus orientalis L. in the wood part.

“…Heavy metals are known as pollutants that do not quickly degrade and disappear in nature, bioaccumulate in living organisms, and some of them, such as Pb, Hg, and Ni, can be toxic, poisonous, carcin, and fatal even at low concentrations (Turkyilmaz et al, 2020;. Even heavy metals, essential for living organisms as nutrients, are harmful at high concentrations (Aricak et al, 2019;Ateya et al, 2023aAteya et al, , 2023bCobanoglu et al, 2023a). It is emphasized that heavy metals are much more dangerous when inhaled into the body (Ghoma et al, 2022).…”

Heavy metal pollution is one of the most critical environmental problems threatening the environment and human health. Therefore, studies on monitoring and reducing heavy metal pollution are among the prioritized study topics. Plants are one of the most effective tools to monitor and reduce heavy metal pollution. However, the potential of heavy metal accumulation in various organs of plants is quite different. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the most suitable species and organs for this purpose and to have information on the transfer of heavy metals in the plant and the way of entry into the plant. In this study, the concentrations of Gallium, one of the most critical and dangerous heavy metals for human health, were evaluated at different soil depths in the soils where Pinus nigra Arnold., Pinus sylvestris L., Fagus orientalis Libsky. and Abies nordmanniana subsp. bornmülleriana Mattf. species grow in leaves, bark, wood, cones, and root organs. As a result of the study, there was no statistically significant difference between soil depths in terms of mean values of Gallium concentrations. In contrast, the highest importance on a species basis was obtained in Fagus orientalis Libsky. The lowest values were obtained in Abies nordmanniana subsp. bornmülleriana Mattf. Regarding organs, the lowest values were obtained in wood and the highest in roots.

Environmental pollution has increased significantly in the current century due to various anthropogenic effects, especially industrial activities, mining, urbanization, and traffic. Significantly increasing air pollution has become a global problem that causes millions of people to die yearly. Heavy metals, the most dangerous and harmful components of air pollution, do not easily deteriorate and disappear in nature. They can be carried far from their source, tend to bioaccumulate in living organisms, and some can be toxic, carcinogenic, and fatal even at low concentrations for humans and animals. Therefore, monitoring the change of heavy metal concentrations in the air is critical. One of the most effective methods in determining the heavy metal concentration changes in the atmosphere from past to present is using annual rings of trees as biomonitors. In this study, the variation of Li concentrations, which is one of the most harmful heavy metals in terms of human and environmental health, in the last 180 years, was tried to be determined by using Corylus colurna L. annual tree rings, which was cut at the end of 2020 in Kastamonu province, Türkiye. Within the scope, the heavy metal concentrations in the bark and inner bark were also compared with the heavy metal concentrations in the woods, and the directional variation of the heavy metal concentrations was also evaluated. As a result, there was a significant difference between wood and bark (p<0.05) except for the north direction of Li element, and the concentrations obtained in the woods were much higher than those in the bark. In the annual rings, the variation of the Li concentration in all directions, except for the west direction, is significant (p<0.05). However, Li concentration generally varies in a narrow range, and this can be interpreted as the Li element being transferred between woods in C. colurna.
