“…Therefore, various plant species in permanent grasslands, including perennial grasses, accumulate large amounts of metals. The concern of the academic world regarding the accumulation of heavy metals in different species from the floristic composition of meadows is reflected in the numerous studies carried out on this subject worldwide (Marcin et al, 2016;Razanov et al, 2018;Castro-Bedriñana et al, 2021;Jócsák et al, 2022;Ma et al, 2022, De Vries et al, 2022. Kryzak et al (2006) show that Festuca cultivars are good phytostabilizers for soils contaminated with heavy metals because they have good metal sorption properties in root tissues with high metal tolerance properties, and Khashij et al (2018) demonstrate that Festuca has a high capacity to absorb lead in the root and then transfer it to the upper organs.…”

Copșa Mică is one of the areas known, at national and international level, with a high level of pollution, even though metallurgical activities have been stopped. Heavy metals contamination of the environment is a worldwide concern. This study shows the content of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Zn and Cu) in two species of perennial grass plants (Dactylis Glomerata L. and Festuca Rubra L.) from permanent meadows in the Copșa Mică area. The estimation of heavy metal content is based on a data set made in 17 points for Dactylis Glomerata L. and 19 points for Festuca Rubra L. harvested from permanent grasslands at different distances from the pollution source. For Dactylis Glomerata L. the Cd content varies between 0.05 mg/kg and 1.21 mg/kg, the Cu values were between 2.80 mg/kg and 5.55. The content of Pb and Zn recorded values between 0.15 mg/kg and 49.6 mg/kg and 34.7 mg/kg and 122 mg/kg, respectively. In Festuca Rubra L., Cd values are between 0.04 mg/kg and 3.07 mg/kg, Cu – 0.29 mg/kg and 7.53 mg/kg. Lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) values ranged between 0.1 mg/kg and 27.5 mg/kg and 25.8 mg/kg and 131 mg/kg, respectively. The results of this study are important for the estimation of heavy metal accumulation in perennial grass species in permanent grasslands, which are consumed directly by animals and indirectly by the population.

“…It was found that the species that suffer the most are those that are of significant value both genetically and economically. The use of herbicides on other crops has a similar effectit reduces the spread of weeds, pathogens, and pests on crops, but significantly increases their number in natural phytocoenoses [6].…”

“…The analysis of the phytocoenoses of absolute drylands in the study area (Table 1) shows that the grasses here are represented by sheep fescue (Festuca ovina), meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis), common bentgrass (Agrostis capillaris), creeping wheatgrass (Elytrigia repens), thyme (Thymus), and whitebush (Nardus) [6].…”

Meadows as plant ecosystems of the Forest-Steppe zone are secondary in origin. They were formed on the site of indigenous (primary) vegetation types – forest or marsh ecosystems – after being transformed by humans to meet the needs of agriculture or livestock. In ancient times, the areas that are now occupied by meadows were mostly covered by forests or swamps. With population growth and livestock development, these forests were cut down, swamps drained, and the land was used for agricultural production as pastures and hayfields. Meadows on the plains of former forest or marsh ecosystems are unstable dynamic phytocoenoses in different stages of succession. Therefore, dominant species' botanical composition and projective cover change rapidly, requiring constant human intervention to maintain their high productivity. Following the principles of sustainable development, one of the most urgent tasks is to provide the population with a sufficient amount of high-quality and safe food of both plant and animal origin. It is known that the quality and safety of food products are directly dependent on the environmental conditions of food raw material production. Vegetation of natural fodder lands is an important element of livestock production, which is characterized by low cost compared to cultivated lands. However, in some areas, natural fodder lands undergo a strong anthropogenic load in technogenesis, leading to soil contamination with various toxicants, particularly heavy metals such as Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu. The main sources of pollution of natural fodder lands are industry, motor vehicles, chemicalisation of the crop production sector, and others. Under such conditions, the use of phytocoenoses as feedstock for both domestic and wild animals increases the risk of heavy metals entering their bodies, which threatens the production of safe and high-quality products, and contaminated soils may be withdrawn from agricultural use. The study aimed to determine the levels of accumulation of Pb, Cd, Zn, and Cu in the ecosystems of natural fodderlands under different anthropogenic loads in the conditions of Eastern Podillia in Vinnytsia region.
