Arsenite phytoextraction and its influence on selected nutritional elements in one-year-old tree species

摘要

Trees have long been recognized as promising for arsenic phytoremediation, however, the most suitable traits of various tree species are still under examination. Therefore, the aim of the studies was to investigate the uptake and accumulation capabilities of As(III) by one-year-old trees from of species (Acer platanoides L., Betula pendula Roth., Quercus robur L, Ulmus laevis Pall) using hydroponic culture. A further aim was to analyse the influence of As(III) on the content of selected nutritional minerals, such as B, Ca, K, Mg, Na and Si.
