“…Many scientific publications are devoted to the study of growth and development of plants species in the impact area of copper-nickel plants [1][2][3][4]. The direction of metal resistance of plants of metalliferous areas is of special attention [5]. It is traditionally believed that short-lived herbaceous species are adapted to heavy metal pollution, while trees, due to their long reproductive cycles -not [6].…”

The results of influence of industrial pollution on vegetative growth and pollen fertility of Sorbus gorodkovii (Gorodkov,s rowan) in the impact area of the Pechenganickel plant (city of Zapolyarny), are presented. Five experimental sites with S. gorodkovii were laid in the vicinity of processing plant. Leaf measurements (leaf length and the total length of 2 middle leaflets of a compound leaf) were carried out every 7 days in June and July. Samples of S. gorodkovii inflorescences with mature pollen were selected from each experimental site. Studies of pollen fertility were carried out by acetocarmine method. It was found that S. gorodkovii is resistant to chronical pollution of the environment by heavy metals. Leaves growth was significantly inhibited only in the beginning of their ontogenesis. Pollen fertility in the vicinity of the processing plant in the city of Zapolyarny, was high. Obtained data confirms the previous results of some authors that in Subarctic climate and impact of industrial pollution in the Kola Peninsula, trees rapidly adapted to anthropogenic stress and increases resistance to heavy metals.

Calluna vulgaris, Carex rigida, Deschampsia flexuosa, Nardus stricta and Vaccinium myrtillus are abundant in the vegetation of mountainous areas in Northern and Central Europe. Knowledge of their ability to accumulate increased amounts of metals could be useful in the evaluation of environmental pollution in the alpine tundra of high mountains. Additionally, this investigation may contribute to understanding the rate and direction of recent vegetation change in Karkonosze and similar types of environments. Our investigation revealed that Carex rigida, C. vulgaris and V. myrtillus contain excessive Mn concentrations in shoots with the highest BF for this element compared to the BFs of other elements. C. rigida, with Cu, Mn and Zn concentrations exceeding the toxicity thresholds for plants, seems to be the best metal phytoaccumulator for Nardus stricta grasslands Carici (rigidae)-Nardetum (CrN) and alpine heathlands Carici (rigidae)-Festucetum airoidis (CrFa) associations in the Karkonosze. Based on relevant BFs >1, it can be stated that the following plant available metals were transferred to shoots: Cu, Mn and Ni by C. vulgaris; Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni and Zn by C. rigida; Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni and Zn by D. flexuosa; Cu, Mn, Ni and Zn by N. stricta and Cu, Mn and Zn by V. myrtillus.
