We analyzed concentrations of Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, and Zn in bark, leaves, young shoots, pericarp, and seeds of Robinia pseudoacacia from several sites (three industrial cities and two rural villages) in southern Poland. The objective of the study was to determine the possible usefulness of various organs and tissues of this species for biomonitoring. The analyses showed that bark and leaves are organs that may serve as good bioindicators. The lowest concentrations of Cd, Pb, and Zn were found in one of the industrial cities in the area. On the other hand, the concentrations of Cd, Pb, and Zn were similar in the rural areas when compared to the concentrations observed in the cities. The high level of metal contamination of air in rural areas may be a result of the long-range transport of emissions. Also, the use of bark and leaves of R. pseudoacacia enables us to estimate the level of contamination by Fe and Cu of areas in the vicinity of railway tracks. On the basis of the data presented in this paper and the data from references, a conclusion can be drawn that the bark and leaves of R. pseudoacacia are good bioindicators of metal contamination of air in towns and

Enviado em outubro de 2007, aprovado em novembro de 2010. RESUMO:Atualmente, os ecossistemas conhecidos como manguezais têm sido foco das mais variadas pesquisas, envolvendo estudos de fauna, flora, ecologia, entre outros. A demanda por conhecimentos sobre esse ecossistema provém, principalmente, da necessidade de se compreender as conseqüências das atuais e futuras ações humanas. No presente estudo, objetivou-se caracterizar a anatomia e comparar, juntamente com os perfis químicos, folhas de Avicennia schaueriana e Rhizophora mangle, provenientes de manguezais impactados (estuário do município de Santos) e não impactados (estuário do município de Peruíbe) do litoral de São Paulo, correlacionando as possíveis diferenças com fontes de impacto ambiental de cada área. Para A. schaueriana não foram observadas diferenças significativas com relação aos aspectos anatômicos. Já para R. mangle, observou-se maior densidade estomática em folhas do ambiente impactado, bem como aumento na espessura do parênquima paliçádico, diminuição do parênquima esponjoso e expansão da região dos feixes vasculares, na nervura central. Com relação à análise química, os grupos dos compostos apontados nos perfis cromatográficos diferem em quantidade e qualidade para R. mangle e apenas em quantidade para A. schaueriana.

“…Therefore, temporal changes in chemistry in tree rings can be used as a suitable indicator for historical and ongoing processes in the rooting zone of soils (Augustin et al, 2005;Berger et al, 2004;Ferretti et al, 2002;Poszwa et al, 2003). Coniferous species, as well as broadleaved ones, have been widely used to reveal the impacts of pollution on forest health (Kuang et al, 2007;Kurczyńska et al, 1997;Yilmaz and Zengin 2004), and have frequently been selected as surrogates for reconstructing the history of environmental pollution, such as the emission of heavy metals (Baes III and Mclaughlin 1984;Orlandi et al, 2002;Padilla and Anderson 2002;Punshon et al, 2005), the deposition of nitrogen (Saurer et al, 2004) and the changes in soil chemistry (Augustin et al, 2005;Berger et al, 2004;Guyette et al, 1992).…”

Abstract• Soil acidification is a global concern. Base cation (Ca, Mg, Mn and Al) concentrations, as well as their molar ratios, were measured in tree rings of Masson pines (Pinus massoniana L.) from Dinghushan and Xiqiaoshan to reconstruct the historical changes in soil acidification in the Pearl River Delta, south China.• In Dinghushan, Ca and Mn xylem concentrations yielded significant correlations with the higher soil pHs, and Ca and Mg with the lower soil pHs. In Xiqiaoshan, only xylem Mn concentration correlated significantly with the soil pH in both layers. Significant correlations between xylem molar ratios and soil pH were revealed for Ca/Mn, Mg/Mn, Mn/Al and Ca/Al in the upper soils and for the same ratios except for Ca/Al in the deeper soils in Dinghushan. The same correlations were revealed for Ca/Mn, Mg/Mn and Mn/Al at both depths in Xiqiaoshan.• Soil pHs at 0-10 cm and 10-40 cm depths at the study sites were reconstructed by the molar ratios of Mg/Mn and Ca/Mn in the xylem of Masson pines, respectively.• Cation molar ratios in the xylem of Masson pine were superior to the single Ca, Mg, Mn and Al for soil acidity reconstruction in the Delta of China. Mots-clés :dendrochimie / cerne d'arbre / reconstruction du pH du sol / Pinus massoniana / Delta Pearl River Résumé -Reconstruction du pH du sol par dendrochimie chez Pinus massoniana dans deux stations forestières du delta de la Pearl River, dans le sud de la Chine.• L'acidification du sol est un phénomène important à l'échelle mondiale. Les concentrations en cations (Ca, Mg, Mn et Al) aussi bien que leurs rapports molaires dans les cernes des pins (Pinus massoniana L.) de Dinghushan et Xiqiaoshan ont été mesurées pour reconstruire les changements historiques d'acidification du sol dans le delta de la Pearl River, dans le sud de la Chine.• À Dinghushan, les concentrations en Ca et Mn du xylème présentent des corrélations significatives avec les pH de la partie supérieure du sol, Ca et Mg, avec les pH de la partie inférieure du sol. À Xiqiaoshan, seule la concentration en Mn du xylème est corrélée significativement avec les pH du sol dans les deux horizons. Des corrélations significatives entre rapports molaires dans le xylème et les pH du sol ont été mises en évidences pour Ca/Mn, Mg/Mn, Mn/Al et Ca/Al dans les parties supérieures des sols et pour les mêmes rapports sauf Ca/Al dans les parties profondes des sols à Dinghushan. Des corrélations semblables ont été révélées pour Ca/Mn, Mg/Mn et Mn/Al dans les deux profondeurs à Xiqiaoshan.• Les pH du sol à 0-10 cm et 10-40 cm de profondeur dans les sites d'étude ont été reconstruits à partir des rapports molaires de Mg/Mn et Ca/Mn dans le xylème des pins. Les rapports molaires des cations dans le xylème des pins étaient supérieurs au seul Ca, Mg, Mn et Al pour la reconstruction de l'acidité du sol dans le Delta de la Chine.
