“…The value determined in this study is comparable to those obtained in other studies conducted in the vicinity (Çomaklı & Bingöl, 2021;Comakli et al, 2018;Sürücü & Elaltuntaş, 2018). The average Zn concentration in soils across the world varies between 30 and 120 mg/kg, while the maximum allowed Zn concentration in soil is 300 mg/kg (Kabata-Pendias & Pedias, 1999).…”

“…As a biomonitor, several tree species like Scotch Pine (Pinus sylvestris)), Cedar tree (Cedrus sp.) Aesculus hippocastanum, Pinus brutia, Betula pendula, Platanus orientalis, Fraxinus excelsior, Tilia tomentosa, and Elaeagnus angustifolia have been used (Aricak et al, 2020;Çomaklı & Bingöl, 2021;Nadgórska-Socha et al, 2017;Petrova et al, 2014a;Sevik et al, 2020;Milica Tomašević & Aničić, 2010;Turkyilmaz et al, 2018;Yalcin et al, 2020). Especially, representatives of Betula L. species that have no commercial value are employed as indicators of the condition of urban settings and as soil-improving species in many nations across Europe, North America, and China.…”

“…When long-living perennials such as trees are used for phytoremediation of metal-contaminated sites, the long-term evolution of metal stocks accumulated over time in these plants needs to be considered. In one study, large metal stocks were measured in 35-year-old Pinus trees growing alongside a highway, although the recent soil contamination was relatively low [53]. In another study, rather large metal stocks of high variability with a maximum in medium-aged trees (15 years) were found in a Pinus massoniana stand with low soil contamination [54].…”

“…Metal extraction per square meter of soil was in the same order of magnitude as reported by [52] or [50], although the topsoil Zn/Cu/Cd concentrations differed largely (Table 3). With less severe soil contamination, higher Zn (and partly Cd) rates of extraction were observed [52][53][54][55] (Table 3).…”

The restoration of forest ecosystems on metal-contaminated sites can be achieved whilst producing valuable plant biomass. Here, we investigated the metal accumulation and biomass production of young afforestations on contaminated plots by simulating brownfield site conditions. On 16 3-m2 plots, the 15 cm topsoil was experimentally contaminated with Zn/Cu/Pb/Cd = 2854/588/103/9.2 mg kg−1 using smelter filter dust, while 16 uncontaminated plots (Zn/Cu/Pb/Cd = 97/28/37/< 1) were used as controls. Both the calcareous (pH 7.4) and acidic (pH 4.2) subsoils remained uncontaminated. The afforestations consisted of groups of conifers, deciduous trees, and understorey plants. During the four years of cultivation, 2254/86/0.35/10 mg m−2 Zn/Cu/Pb/Cd were extracted from the contaminated soils and transferred to the aboveground parts of the plants (1279/72/0.06/5.5 mg m−2 in the controls). These extractions represented 3/2/3% of the soluble soil Zn/Cu/Cd fractions. The conifers showed 4–8 times lower root-to-shoot translocation of Cu and Zn than the deciduous trees. The contamination did not affect the biomass of the understorey plants and reduced that of the trees by 23% at most. Hence, we conclude that the afforestation of brown field sites with local tree species is an interesting option for their reclamation from an ecological as well as economic perspective.

“…3 ml of nitric acid, 1 ml of hydrogen peroxide, and 6 ml of hydrochloric acid were added to the litterfall samples. Soil samples are left in a microwave for 1 hour after adding 9.9 ml of nitric acid and 0.1 ml of HF (Çomaklı and Bingöl, 2021). The samples were diluted 100 times with distilled water after these phases and the Agilent 7800 brand ICP-MS system was used to estimate their P concentrations.…”

It is necessary to provide plant nutrients in soil at optimal levels for the sustainability of forest ecosystems. The soil stoichiometry of total carbon (C), total nitrogen (N) and total phosphorus (P) allow monitoring and assessment of ecosystem structures and variations in nutrient cycle. Studies on determination of C-N-P stoichiometry in forest ecosystems, however, are somewhat inadequate. This study aims to determine change of C-N-P stoichiometry depending on litterfall condition and soil depth in broadleaf mixed forest (Europen Hophornbeam -Syspirensis Oak) soil and the C-N-P stocks in soil. In this context, we were determined both C-N-P stoichiometry and C-N-P stock in soil and litterfall by conducting field studied at 10 different points in the Broad Leaf Mixed Forest of Erzurum-Oltu district. The results indicated that as the depth of the soil increased, the C-N ratio decreased, whereas the N-P and the C-P ratios increased. Positive correlations were observed between C-N in all soil depths, but negative correlations between C-P and N-P. The correlation coefficients between C and N (r0-10= 0.58, r10-20= 0.52 and r20-30= 0.44) and between C and P (r0-10= 0.64, r10-20= 0.54 and r20-30= 0.42) and between N and P (r0-10= 0.52, r10-20= 0.35 and r20-30= 0.36) decreased as soil depth increased. The mean scores of the C-N-P stocks were determined as 5.9, 1.3, and 0.2 ton ha -1 in litterfall and 157.68, 24.60, and 2.68 tons ha -1 in soil, respectively. It is important to rehabilitate degraded forests and minimize the negative effects of erosion in order to increase the amount of carbon captured in forest soils. In addition, the variable C: N: P stoichiometry in forest ecosystems; It can be considered as a leading indicator of soil degradation and drought and climate changes.
