“…Especially, the wood part of plants is usually the part where heavy metals accumulate the least (Karacocuk et al 2022). In fact, plants that can accumulate heavy metals in the wood part are crucial in phytoremediation studies, because the wood part is usually the largest organ of the plant in terms of mass (Koc et al 2023;Key et al 2023). The study results show that Se, Ag, Tl, and Sb concentrations in black pine wood were quite high, and thus suggesting that this species is suitable for phytoremediation studies to reduce the pollution of these elements.…”

“…Using a steel drill bit for each age range, samples were taken from the wood in three directions. After the collected samples were placed in glass petri dishes and air-dried at room temperature for 15 days, they were dried in an oven at 45 °C for an additional week (Key et al 2023;Erdem et al 2024;Koç et al 2024).…”

“…While the industrial revolution enabled rapid increases in production, it also escalated the demand for raw materials, energy, and labour. To meet the demand for labour, rural-to-urban migration has occurred, leading to the concentration of populations in specific areas and raising the issue of urbanization (Dogan et al 2022;Key et al 2023). Further, the use of fossil fuels to meet the required energy needs has significantly increased the atmospheric CO2 levels and become a major contributor to global climate change (Sevik et al 2015;Tekin et al 2022).…”

The usability of black pine (Pinus nigra Arnold) in both monitoring the changes in the concentrations of silver (Ag), selenium (Se), antimony (Sb), and thallium (Tl), and in reducing soil or air pollution was investigated. In the study, annual rings of a Pinus nigra tree, cut in 2023 and identified as 356 years old, were grouped into 10-year intervals, and then the changes in these heavy metals throughout the process were determined by analysing the concentrations of these elements. Additionally, the relationship of these elements with other elements was also detected in the scope of the study. The study results suggested that Pinus nigra was not a suitable bio-monitor for monitoring the changes in Ag, Se, Sb, and Tl concentrations in the soil or air, but it was a highly suitable species for phytoremediation studies aimed at reducing the pollution of these elements. Moreover, it was determined that the relationships of the studied elements with essential nutrients, such as Mg, Ca, P, K, Al, Zn, Ni, and Fe, were not statistically significant and were very weak; whereas they exhibited positive and very strong relationships with elements known to be highly harmful for health such as V, Pb, and As.

“…As a result of the study, the highest Ga concentration was obtained in the roots. Heavy metals can enter the plant body from the soil through the roots and air through the leaves and stem parts (Cobanoglu et al, 2023b;Key et al, 2023). Plant roots are the organs that have the most contact and interaction with the soil.…”

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.

“…Therefore, factors that cause significant and permanent changes in climatic parameters, such as global climate change, trigger the stress mechanisms of plants (Koç, 2021c(Koç, , 2022Varol et al, 2021;Tekin et al, 2022;Dogan et al, 2023). In addition to these, stress factors such as UV-B stress (Ozel et al, 2021a;Çobanoğlu et al, 2023), anthropogenic radiation (Ozel et al, 2021b;Cobanoglu et al, 2023b), and heavy metal pollution (Cesur et al, 2022;Isinkaralar et al, 2022;Key et al, 2023;Erdem et al, 2023;Ghoma et al, 2023), which increase due to climate change, also affect plant metabolism and thus the potential of plants to accumulate heavy metals.…”

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.
