“…High concentrations of Cl and Na also contribute to changes in cell membrane permeability (calcium ions are "substituted" with sodium ions), disturb the ionic balance, reduce the chlorophyll content and the activity of many enzymes, and consequently lead to a reduction in efficiency of the main life processes of the tree (photosynthesis and respiration) (Marschner 1995;Cekstere and al. 2008;Gałuszka et al 2011).…”

Soil contamination caused by the NaCl used to de-ice slippery roads in winter is now recognized as one of the major causes of nutrient disorders and death in urban trees. It is believed that polyisoprenoids may have a specific role in the adaptation of plants to adverse conditions and habitats; it is further believed that in the cell, they may exhibit a protective effect in response to biotic and abiotic stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of salt stress on the content of prenol lipids in the leaves of Crimean linden (Tilia 'Euchlora'). The Cl content in the slightly damaged ("healthy") leaves averaged 0.96%, while that in the heavily damaged ("sick") leaves averaged 2.02%. The leaves of control trees contained on average 0.57% Cl. The Na contents in the healthy and damaged leaves were 208 mg/kg and 1038 mg/kg, respectively, and the Na content in the control areas was 63 mg/kg. A mixture of polyprenols consisting of four compounds, prenol-9, prenol-10, prenol-11 and prenol-12, was identified in the leaves of Crimean linden. This mixture was dominated by prenol-10 (2.16-6.90 mg/g). The polyprenol content was highest in the leaves of "healthy" trees (approximately 13.31 mg/g), was lower in the case of "sick" trees (approximately 9.18 mg/g), and was the lowest in the control trees (mean 4.71 mg/g). No changes were observed in the composition of the mixture of polyprenols under these conditions. The results suggest that polyprenols may affect the accumulation of Cl in leaves. This phenomenon is evidenced by the high content of prenols in the leaves of trees considered "healthy" but growing under conditions of increased soil salinity and the lower content of prenols in the leaves of the "sick" and control trees. It is advisable to further investigate the role of prenol lipids in the leaves of trees subjected to salt stress.

“…These salts are highly soluble, very mobile, difficult to remove, and inherently corrosive. They may pose shortterm and long-term risks to water (5)(6)(7)(8), soil (9), vegetation (10), wildlife (11), and transportation assets (12). For instance, Siegel tested toxicity thresholds of chloride for 21 aquatic species and found fathead minnow being the most sensitive species with an acute toxicity level of 874 mg Cl − /L and chronic exposure of 252 mg Cl − /L (13).…”

A liquid mixture was developed from waste peony leaves through a zero-waste chemical/biological process. The inhibition effect of different concentrations of peony leaves derived solution (0-3 vol.%, PLS0-3) on C1010 carbon steel in 3.5 wt.% NaCl was investigated over time using electrochemical measurements. Chemical analyses were performed to reveal the main compounds of this inhibitor. Surface analyses together with water contact angle measurements were employed to study the characteristics of the steel surface affected. Semi-empirical calculations with PM3 method were used to find the relationship between molecular structure and inhibiting effect of PLS. The inhibitor was stable over time and its main active ingredients were C 19 H 27 N 4 O 10 P and C 17 H 16 N 3 O 9 P that adsorb onto the steel surface, block cathodic active sites, make the surface hydrophobic, decrease the surface free energy, and facilitate the formation of a passive layer. A good correlation was found between experimentally determined inhibition efficiency and theoretically calculated properties of PLS.ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Knowledge about the content of plant-available nutrients in soils allows for a proper assessment of the supply with macroelements. However, whilst making comparisons, the content of this element was several times higher in the soil samples collected from the surrounding of the necrotic elm than in those collected from the surrounding of the alive elm ( Studies conducted by a number of scientists confirm that NaCl, used as de-icing salt, has a negative impact on plants by causing discoloration of leaves, decay and, consequently, necrosis [Brogowski et al 2000, Gałuszka et al 2010, Mazur et al 2011]. …”

“…The content of salt in these soils may exceed the normal concentration of soil solutions even several times [Szczepanowska 2001]. Salinity of soils near roads reaches the highest concentration in the period from winter to spring [Gałuszka et al 2010, Mazur et al 2011. Many factors, acting synergistically, enhance their detrimental effect during summer, when salt moves with atmospheric precipitations into deeper layers of a soil profile.…”

Physicochemical properties of soils have a significant impact on the growth and development of vegetation. In urban areas, because of increased human activity, changes occur in both grain-size composition as well as physical and chemical properties of soils. These soils are frequently saline and contaminated with heavy metals, which limit the development of vegetation and cause its necrosis. Elm is a commonly growing tree with low habitat requirements, whose population has been considerably reduced because of progressing Dutch elm disease. This study attempts to assess the relationship of dependency between physicochemical parameters of soils and health status of elms from the area of the City of Kielce. Two elms were selected for the study, that is, one alive tree being a natural monument and one necrotic tree. The soil analysis concerned physicochemical parameters such as size composition, reaction, salinity measured by means of proper electrolyte conductivity (PEC), acidity, organic carbon content, carbonates, nitrogen, and selected elements including heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Mn). The study indicates differentiation amongst the physicochemical parameters of the analysed soils. A characteristic feature of the soils being the habitat of the necrotic elm is that they have considerably higher salinity than those being the habitat of the alive elm. Increased levels of sodium and chlorides could negatively affect water transportation in vegetation what might have resulted, amongst others, in necrosis of the tree.
