“…on ash dumps (Técher et al, 2012), or on industrially highly contaminated substrates (Wanat et al, 2013). It is resistant to comparatively high concentrations of HM in soil, which in case infl uence the growth rate and biomass increase, but don't aff ect the rate of metabolic processes in plant (Arduini et al, 2006a, b;Wanat et al, 2013). Even in conditions of HM ion concentration exceeding the toxicity limit miscanthus maintains suffi cient increase of aerial biomass (Arduini et al, 2006a), in subtoxic concentration levels the HM could even promote growth and ion translocation, as demonstrated in experiments with cadmium by Arduini et al (2004).…”
