“…The translocation factor values for Pb were >1 (Figure 6f) in Brachyotum radula (S2), Calceolaria tetragona (S2), Chusquea scandens (S1), and Nicotiana thyrsiflora (S1), indicating that these four species can translocate metals from roots to the aerial part. These results are similar with previous studies, in which it was observed that the roots can absorb Pb from soils in a passive mode, where the rate of uptake is reduced by liming and low temperature, so that Pb translocation from roots to shoots is greatly limited [40] and, in consequence, Pb is not generally bioavailable in contaminated soil [63].…”

“…The dilutions performed allowed work in the calibration range of 0.01-10 ppb; an 8-point calibration curve was used. The isotopes monitored were 107 Ag, 109 Ag; 75 As; 111 Cd, 112 Cd, 114 Cd; 63 Cu, 65 Cu; 206 Pb, 207 Pb, 208 Pb; 64 Zn, 66 Zn, and 68 Zn. Analytical blanks were run in parallel.…”

“…The capacity of a plant to accumulate trace metals indicates its potential applicability for phytoextraction or phytostabilization process [38]. Phytoextraction requires the translocation of metals from soil to plant roots, whereas phytostabilization is the capacity to reduce metal translocation from roots to shoots [63]. A plant's potential for phytoremediation can be estimated by the bioconcentration (BCF) and the translocation factor (TF) [37]; plants with these two indicators with values higher than one have potential to be used in phytoremediation.…”

The capability of native plant species grown in polluted post-mining soils to accumulate metals was evaluated in view of their possible suitability for phytoremediation. The study areas included two environmental liabilities in the Cajamarca region in the Peruvian Andes. The content of As, Ag, Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn was determined in individual plant organs and correlated with soil characteristics. The degree of the pollution depended on the metal with results ranging from uncontaminated (Cd) to moderately (Zn), strongly (As, Cu), and extremely contaminated (Pb, Ag) soils. The metals were mainly present in the fractions with limited metal mobility. The bioaccumulation of the metals in plants as well the translocation into overground organs was determined. Out of the 21 plants evaluated, Pernettya prostrata and Gaultheria glomerate were suitable for Zn, and Gaultheria glomerata and Festuca sp. for Cd, phytostabilization. The native species applicable for Cd phytoremediation were Ageratina glechonophylla, Bejaria sp., whereas Pernettya prostrata Achyrocline alata,Ageratina fastigiate, Baccharis alnifolia, Calceolaria tetragona, Arenaria digyna, Hypericum laricifolium, Brachyotum radula, and Nicotiana thyrsiflora were suitable for both Cd and Zn. None of the studied plants appeared to be suitable for phytoremediation of Pb, Cu, As and Ag.

“…The use of other plants and weeds (both invasive and non-invasive) as phytostabiliser of Cu, Pb, and Zn as reported in the literature (Table 6) supported the present finding using A. gangetica. For example, Drozdova et al [91] studied the potential of phytoextraction and phytostabilisation of non-invasive Brassica campestris for the concentrations of Cd, Cu, Ni, of 28 Pb, and Zn in the plant organs (leaves, roots, stems, and inflorescences), and the BCF and TF. Mataruga et al [92] reported that the BCF and TF factors indicated that the non-invasive elm (Ulmus glabra) was suitable for the phytostabilisation of As, Cu, Cr, Ni, and Pb.…”

The invasive weed Asystasia gangetica was investigated for its potential as a biomonitor and as a phytoremediator of potentially toxic metals (PTMs) (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) in Peninsular Malaysia owing to its ecological resistance towards unfavourable environments. The biomonitoring potential of PTMs was determined based on the correlation analysis of the metals in the different parts of the plant (leaves, stems, and roots) and its habitat topsoils. In the roots, the concentrations (mg/kg dry weight) of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn ranged from 0.03 to 2.18, 9.22 to 139, 0.63 to 5.47, 2.43 to 10.5, and 50.7 to 300, respectively. In the leaves, the concentrations (mg/kg dry weight) of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn ranged from 0.03 to 1.16, 7.94 to 20.2, 0.03 to 6.13, 2.10 to 21.8, and 18.8 to 160, respectively. In the stems, the concentrations (mg/kg dry weight) of Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn ranged from 0.03 to 1.25, 5.57 to 11.8, 0.23 to 3.69, 0.01 to 7.79, and 26.4 to 246, respectively. On the other hand, the phytoremediation potential of the five metals was estimated based on the bioconcentration factor (BCF) and the translocation factor (TF) values. Correlation analysis revealed that the roots and stems could be used as biomonitors of Cu, the stems as biomonitors of Ni, the roots and leaves as biomonitors of Pb, and all three parts of the plant as biomonitors of Zn. According to the BCF values, in the topsoil, the “easily, freely, leachable, or exchangeable” geochemical fractions of the five metals could be more easily transferred to the roots, leaves, and stems when compared with total concentrations. Based on the TF values of Cd, Ni, and Pb, the metal transfer to the stems (or leaves) from the roots was efficient (>1.0) at most sampling sites. The results of BCF and TF showed that A. gangetica was a good phytoextractor for Cd and Ni, and a good phytostabilizer for Cu, Pb, and Zn. Therefore, A. gangetica is a good candidate as a biomonitor and a phytoremediator of Ni, Pb, and Zn for sustainable contaminant remediation subject to suitable field management strategies.

“…With the highest concentration of metals in ores over large areas, up to 90% of the plants cannot adapt to such conditions and disappear, leaving bare soil, such as in areas of boron and pyrite ores discussed by Ginzburg [ 23 ]. Some plants, on the contrary, need the high concentrations of certain elements in the growing environment for normal development [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ].…”

A biogeochemical study of more than 20,000 soil and plant samples from the North Caucasus, Dzungarian Alatau, Kazakh Uplands, and Karatau Mountains revealed features of the chemical element uptake by the local flora. Adaptation of ore prospecting techniques alongside environmental approaches allowed the detection of geochemical changes in ecosystems, and the lessons learned can be embraced for soil phytoremediation. The data on the influence of phytogeochemical stress on the accumulation of more than 20 chemical elements by plants are considered in geochemical provinces, secondary fields of deposits, halos surrounding ore and nonmetallic deposits, zones of regional faults and schist formation, and over lithological contact lines of chemically contrasting rocks overlain by 5–20 m thick soils and unconsolidated cover. We have corroborated the postulate that the element accumulation patterns of native plants under the natural geochemical stress depend not only on the element content in soils and the characteristics of a particular species but also on the values of ionic radii and valences; with an increase in the energy coefficients of a chemical element, its plant accumulation decreases sharply. The contribution of internal factors to element uptake from solutions gives the way to soil phytoremediation over vast contaminated areas. The use of hyperaccumulating species for mining site soil treatment depends on several external factors that can strengthen or weaken the stressful situation, viz., the amount of bedrock exposure and thickness of unconsolidated rocks over ores, the chemical composition of ores and primary halos in ore-containing strata, the landscape and geochemical features of sites, and chemical element migration patterns in the supergene zone.
