Coastal wetlands are ecosystems lying between land and ocean and are subject to inputs of
heavy metals (HMs) from terrestrial, oceanic and atmospheric sources. Although the study …

The concentrations in plant parts depend both on intrinsic and extrinsic factors and vary
greatly for different species and for different metals. Responses by plant species to exposure …

The contamination of the environment with toxic metals has become a worldwide problem.
Metal toxicity affects crop yields, soil biomass and fertility. Soils polluted with heavy metals …

Contemporary legislation respecting environmental protection and public health, at both

During the history of life on Earth, tectonic and climatic change repeatedly generated large
territories that were virtually devoid of life and exhibited harsh environmental conditions. The …

Plants colonizing metalliferous soils have evolved physiological mechanisms which enable
them to tolerate metal toxicity. These mechanisms do not generally suppress metal uptake …

Our understanding of plant mineral nutrition comes largely from studies of herbaceous crops
that evolved from ruderal species characteristic of nutrient-rich disturbed sites (52). With the …

Zinc (Zn) is an essential component of thousands of proteins in plants, although it is toxic in
excess. In this review, the dominant fluxes of Zn in the soil–root–shoot continuum are …

Over the past 200 years emissions of toxic heavy metals have risen tremendously and
significantly exceed those from natural sources for practically all metals. Uptake and …
