“…(Table 1). However, the reference level 100 μg/g, which could be considered as a common indicator of possible immissions according to Dmuchowski and Bytnerowicz (1995), was not exceeded. According to Marschner (1995) the toxic value for plants is a concentration > 300 μg/g.…”

The objective of this research was to evaluate trends and relationships of energy and toxic elements accumulation in A-horizon (the depth of 0–5 cm) of soils and in selected plants of the hemioligotrophic (Dystric Cambisols) and oligotrophic (Skeletic-Rustic Podzols) spruce ecosystems situated along transect (750–1110 m a.s.l.) in the NP Slovenský raj (Eastern Slovakia). The results showed that EU limit values of risk elements in agricultural soils were exceeded for Cu and Cd at the altitude of 750–760 m a.s.l., and in case of Cd also above 1000 m a.s.l. Relationship between energy and toxic elements in soils revealed that with an increasing amount of energy, contents of Zn and Cu significantly declined with altitude (r > –0.5 or r > –0.9). The background value of Cu was exceeded in all plants, that of Zn for Dryopteris filix-mas and Rubus idaeus. Furthermore, excessive accumulation of Cd was revealed by all plants. Cu contents in soils were dominant in determining Cu uptake for Vaccinium myrtillus (r > 0.5); Zn and Cd for V. myrtillus (r > 0.6), D. filix-mas (r > 0.5 or r > 0.8) and Fagus sylvatica (r > –0.8 or r > –0.5); Zn also for R. idaeus species (r > 0.4). The soil-plant transfer coefficients higher than 1 hinted R. idaeus on the plots at the altitude of 960 m a.s.l. (Cd 1.1, Cu 1.2, Zn 3.1), which appears as an excellent native indicator of forest ecosystem contamination.

“…Pine needles are commonly used as a good anthropogenic indicator of air pollution (MOLSKI et al 1983;DMUCHOWSKI, BYTNEROWICZ 1995;MANNINEN, HUTTUNEN 1995), whereas pine bark was mentioned as a pollution bio-indicator of the air by sour compounds, mainly sulphur and nitrogen (GRODZIŃSKA 1993;MIGASZEWSKI 2000). It turned out to be a good indicator of air pollution by cementlime dust, which was shown by SPOREK's studies (1995).…”

Rock raw material exploitation has been of long tradition in Poland. However, due to alkalization, the intensification of changes that began more than 30 years ago should be associated with the localization of cement plants, lime plants and aggregate plants in this area. Cement dust entering the soil in large quantities causes increasing of CaCO 3 concentration in the horizons, which evokes a series of the consequences in phytocenoses (BOROWIEC, ZABŁOCKI 1983;DALE, BALL 1991; BRÓŻ et al. 1992;KREUTZER 1995;ŚWIERCZ 1997). Especially susceptible to slight changes are the oligotrophic gatherings of pine forests. The range of alkali deposit impact depends on the source and type of emission, the distance from the emitters, the orography of the area, frequency and direction of winds, among others (DAMME, ERNST 1989;SPOREK 1995;ŚWIERCZ 1997).The aim of this paper is to: -check the suitability of pine bark to indicate the degree of air pollution caused by cement-lime dusts,-define the range of a cement plant impact in connection with the results obtained by SPOREK (1995) in the Opole forests. Pine bark was analyzed in the forests located at three cement plants in the Świętokrzyski province (South Poland). MATERIAL AND METHODSThe testing data were collected from the pine forests located in the Świętokrzyski province. The forested areas tested are located in proximity of three cement plants and the control one in Wymysłów, located outside the impact of alkali dust emissions.In total 310 bark samples were collected from the trees at the breast height diameter.The bark in question was removed by means of a bark knife. The pine bark was dried in room temperature, then it was rinsed with water and dried again (approximately 40°C) for 24 hours. The dried material was milled into dust powder in a Fritsch mill. Suitability of pine bark to evaluate pollution caused by cement-lime dust A. ŚWIERCZ Institute of Geography, Pedagogical Academy, Kielce, PolandABSTRACT: The aim of this paper is to show the application of pine bark to indicate the level of air contamination by cement-lime dust and to determine the impact range of cement plants. The pine bark was analyzed in the forested formed around three cement plants in the Świętokrzyski administrative district (South of Poland). The test results were compared with the results gained from the controlled forested areas, free from alkali contamination. The strongly alkali areas show high pH H 2 O of bark in the range of 7.2-8.5 and low coefficient of change v% = 2.2. The pine bark values of pH H 2 O in the alkali areas are on average 2.5 times as high as those achieved in the controlled area (natural pH of bark shows the range of 2.8-3.5). On the basis of the measurements of pH H 2 O there are five alkali-forested spheres determined. The existence of the forest spheres confirms the variable mineral composition of the bark, and first of all the variable content of calcium, magnesium, potassium, aluminium, manganese, zinc and iron as a function of the distance from the emitter and real ...

“…В сучасних умовах інтенсифікації антропогенного пресу, з постійним «збагаченням» місць існування рослин сполуками групи важких металів, екологічний фактор часто заважає реалізації генетичної програми поглинання хімічних елементів рослинами (Saarelaa et al, 2005;Verbruggen et al, 2009;Appenroth, 2010;Chudzińska et al, 2016). Багато авторів вважають, що стан асиміляційного апарату деревних рослин можна використовувати в якості об'єкта моніторингу довкілля, що пов'язано з оцінкою їх середовищестабілізуючої ролі на шляху поширення забруднювачів у навколишнє середовище (Dmuchowski and Bytnerowicz, 1995;Pöykiö et al, 2010;Kabata-Pendias, 2011;Pietrzykowski and Socha, 2011;Pietrzykowski, 2014). Метою роботи стали дослідження особливостей акумуляції елементів групи важких металів асиміляційними апаратами хвойних та листяних деревних рослин, що зростають в умовах техноземів шахти «Павлоградська» Дніпропетровської області.…”

The aim of the research was to study the features of the accumulation of heavy metals elements group by assimilation apparatus of coniferous and deciduous woody plants. We registered low bioaccumulative coefficients of Black locust regards chromium, antimony, and tin. We also determined that the Robinia leaves could accumulate Sb and Sn while in small concentrations and the Crimean pine needles could accumulate Sb and As in in the lowest concentration. The Mangan fraction that translocated to the was high for both tree species and more higher concentration was fixed in the Crimean pine. The average content of Lead was 209.11 kg·ha -1 for Crimean pine in all age groups, while for the Black locust is was only 15.52 kg·ha -1 that was by 13.5 times less. We determined large concentrations of Zinc in the Robinia leaves that was gradually decreasing with tree age. We revealed small contamination of Zinc in the Crimean pine with peak values of accumulation in the second age group of this species. We did not fix the definite trend of redistribution and accumulation of copper towards the tree species and age. For the Black locust the minimum content in green mass was determined for Cr and Sn. In general, the leaves fraction of the aboveground phytomass per unit area is able to accumulate the inorganic contaminants, which is ranged from 1.

Відбір досліджуваного матеріалу проведено у рослин, зростаючих на техноземі шахти «Павлоградська» м. Павлоград. Виявлено відповідність нормам гранично допустимих концентрацій (ГДК) одного з дев'яти досліджуваних елементів -Мангану. З'ясовано, що показники вмісту у техноземі інших елементів групи важких металів перевищують значення ГДК у 1,27 (Pb) -15,7 (Cr) разів. За коефіцієнтом біологічної акумуляції встановлено, що до елементів сильного накопичення відноситься Манган та Плюмбум, усі інші -до елементів слабкого накопичення. Визначено, що при зростанні рослин на шахтній породі кількісний вміст елементів групи важких металів на розраховану
