A large amount of heavy metals leads to environmental pollution. Heavy metals are part of the land or may arise as a result of human products. Affecting the normal growth and development of plant systems and only to a certain limit concentrations of metals. Increasing these suitable and permitted a value to metals in the soil leads to changes in the composition and appearance of the environment in a negative direction. To eliminate or reduce elevated concentrations of heavy metals and their adverse effects on the environment, many researchers focus their attention on finding species that can act as scavengers soil and phytoremediations. There are a large number of plant species that are capable of survival on such surfaces, whether it comes to wild species or species that are on the site with the aim planted. The best known and the most common fitoremedijatori by woody species are Acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) and its most closely related to indigo ( Amorpha fruticosa L.). Its advanced adaptation and the possibility of survival in the soil rich with heavy metals, are plant species that are used in order to protect the environment from the adverse effects of heavy metals. These species have developed ability to adapt, and thereby can perform the accumulation of heavy metals from the soil. They absorb these metals or through the root system, through the tree to the leaves and flowers or leaves through the metal while returning the return direction. In this way, that is, the accumulation of metals that are present in concentrations higher than allowed for stay vegetation, stored and purified by environmental influences damaging of elements which are present in the air and in the soil.

Analysis of adsorption of heavy metals from water solutions by wood of selected domestic species using X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF).The aim of this study was to analyze the absorption of three specific heavy metals from model water solution by wood species from domestic Polish forests. This paper focuses on XRF method to determine metal content in samples. European aspen (Populus tremula L.) and Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) have been chosen. Firstly, shavings were prepared and soaked with standard solutions of lead (II) nitrate, cadmium nitrate and mercury (II) chloride for 7 days. Then, the material was dried and reduced to ashes using muffle furnace. Finally, content of absorbed metal was marked (XRF) and analyzed with a view to initial contents of metal ions in standard solutions. It was established, that the higher the concentration of mercury in standard solution is, the higher impulse counts is obtained for European aspen. This reversal of the dependence is noticeable for second analyzed species.

Bioremediation Processes

Currently, the pollution of soils by heavy metals is a problem of paramount relevance and requires the development of proper remediation techniques. In particular, lead is a frequently detected soil contaminant that poses adverse effects to the environment and human health. In this review, we provide an overview of the bioremediation treatments promoted by plants (phytoremediation), fungi, or bacteria that could be applied to areas polluted by lead. These restoration processes have the advantage of being environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions that exploit plants to immobilize and extract contaminants from soil and water, and fungi and bacteria to degrade them. Phytoremediation is an extensively studied and mature practice, with many in-the-field applications where numerous plant species have been employed. In contrast, bioremediation processes promoted by fungi and bacteria are very promising but, up to now, studies have been mostly performed at a laboratory scale with only a few implementations in real-world situations; therefore, further research is needed.

Abstract Phytoremediation is an emerging technology that employs higher plants to cleanup contaminated environments, including metal-polluted soils. Because it produces a biomass rich in extracted toxic metals, further treatment of this biomass is necessary. The aim of our study was to assess the five-year potential of the following native wild plants to produce biomass and remove heavy metals from a polluted site: poplar (Populus ssp.), ailanthus (Ailanthus glandulosa L.), false acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia L.), ragweed (Artemisia artemisiifolia L.), and mullein (Verbascum thapsus L). Average soil contamination with Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, and As in the root zone was 22,948.6 mg kg-1, 865.4 mg kg-1, 85,301.7 mg kg-1, 3,193.3 mg kg-1, 50.7 mg kg-1, 41.7 mg kg-1,and 617.9 mg kg-1, respectively. We measured moisture and ash content, concentrations of Pb, Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cr, and As in the above-ground parts of the plants and in ash produced by combustion of the plants, plus gross calorific values. The plants’ phytoextraction and phytostabilisation potential was evaluated based on their bioconcentration factor (BCF) and translocation factor (TF). Mullein was identified as a hyperaccumulator for Cd. It also showed a higher gross calorific value (19,735 kJ kg-1) than ragweed (16,469 kJ kg-1).The results of this study suggest that mullein has a great potential for phytoextraction and for biomass generation, and that ragweed could be an effective tool of phytostabilisation.

The article is devoted to the study of tree and shrub plant species that spontaneously invasively colonize anthropogenically undisturbed steppe ecosystems. The species composition, number and biometric characteristics of tree and shrub plant species are determined. It was established that there are 22 species, among which 8 show the greatest invasive activity, in 6 studied natural beams. These are: Cotinus coggygria Scop., Crataegus fallacina L., Prunus divaricata Ledeb., Prunus stepposa Kotov, Pyrus communis L., Rhamnus cathartica L., Robinia pseudoacacia L., Ros corymbifera Borkh. According to the Serensen index of species composition of tree and shrub plants, comparing the slopes of beams of different exposures, it was found that steppe tracts have different similarities between the slopes, but the highest figure was observed for Balka Demurynа (80%).

The paper presents the floristic diversity of the left bank of the Danube and the canal network of Krnjaca and Borca settlements, as well as the factors that endanger it. 216 autochthonous and allochthonous plant species were recorded in the investigated area. A large number of invasive plant species have been observed that spread rapidly and easily forming stable populations that displace native plants. Some of them are: Amorpha fruticosa L., Robinia pseudoacacia L., Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle, Asclepias syriaca L., Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. and others. The presence of 6 species that are rare and endangered in Serbia is especially significant, as well as 5 relict species. During the investigation, the factors which influence on natural habitats degradation and the reduction of autochthonous floristic diversity were identified. Accordingly, measures for protection and preservation of autochthonous floristic diversity are recommended.

Four woody species, Tamarix tentandra Pallas, Populus alba L. and Robinia pseudoacacia L. (planted) and Amorpha fruticosa L. (naturally colonized) were studied at two fly ash deposit lagoons, weathered 3 (L1) and 11 years (L2). All species were assessed in terms of their invasive ability, photosynthetic efficiency, photosynthetic pigments and damage symptoms, while the characteristics of the habitat were assessed in terms of trace element content and the pH and EC of the ash. A reduced vitality of all populations growing on the ash was observed, except for the naturally colonized A. fruticosa. High vitality on all sites, except at L2, increased chlorophyll content and absence of damage symptoms indicates a tolerance in relation to the uptake of toxic elements from the ash. Therefore, the characteristics of naturally colonized species can be used for modeling future actions of biological restoration of fly ash deposits.
