“…Singh et al (2010) had similar findings for the accumulation of Cd, Zn, Cr, Pb, Cu, Ni, Mn, and Fe in 11 different plant species grown on naturally contaminated soil. Gupta et al (2008) reported a similar trend in metal accumulation of plant species grown in the contaminated soil.…”

“…In consistence to the present findings Gupta et al (2008) assessing the heavy metal accumulation in three species of macrophytes, showed the translocation of Fe, Cr, Cu, Mn, Zn and Cd from soil to shoot through root. Plants absorb and translocate both the essential and nonessential elements from soils and soils amended with municipal organic solid waste compost.…”

“…Both BAC and BTC are >1 for five plant species (Erigeron canadensis, P. acinosa, O. fordii, C. henryi and P. heterophylla) for Cd, and two species (C. henryi and P. acinosa) for Mn. Gupta et al (2008) demonstrated that Transfer Factor of heavy metals -Mn, Zn, Cu and Cd from soil showed average value of < 1 in tomato plants, which suggested less uptake of heavy metals from soil.…”

Abstract. Accumulation of heavy metals -Cadmium (Cd), Lead (Pb), Zinc (Zn), Copper (Cu) and Manganese (Mn) in root, stem and leaves of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) grown on loamy coastal soil amended with different doses (100, 75, 50, 20, and 10 tha -1 ) of municipal solid waste compost was assessed during a period of 45 days. Heavy metal accumulation in root, stem and leaves of the plants were significantly different across different amendments and sole soil (P < 0.05). The ranking order of accumulated and translocated concentration of the heavy metals was Pb > Zn > Cu > Cd > Mn in the roots, which changed to Mn > Pb > Zn > Cd > Cu in the stem and to Mn > Pb > Cd > Zn > Cu in the leaves of the plants. The ranking order of heavy metal accumulation in different parts of the plant was root>stem>leaves for Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd; however, it was stem>leaves>root for Mn across all the treatments. The accumulation of the metals increased gradually and significantly with the passage of time in days from 15 to 45 days (p < 0.05).

“…The high EF values of copper and nickel are attributed to the mining and smelting activities which occur in Sudbury. These values may be an indication that there may ultimately be an increase in metal accumulation in plants located on reference sites (Gupta et al, 2008).…”

Understanding the dynamic of metals in soil and plants and population diversity in Northern Ontario is essential in determining progress toward ecosystem sustainability in reclaimed sites. The objectives of the present study were to assess the levels of metal content in soils and their accumulation in red oak plants from limed and unlimed sites. Genetic variation in red oak populations from the Northern Ontario region was also analyzed. The levels of soil acidity was lower in limed areas compared to un limed sites, an indication of the prolonged beneficial effect of liming 20 to 30 years ago on soil toxicity. The levels of total metals were very high for most elements, but the proportion of metals that were bio available and readily available to plants was very small. The enrichment factors were16.78, 4.98 and 2.94 for total arsenic, copper and nickel, respectively. The Translocation Factor (TF) values for available metals from soil to branches were high. There was more metal accumulation in leaves compared to branches. The degrees of genetic variability in red oak populations from limed and unlimed areas were compared using ISSR markers. The levels of polymorphic loci were moderate to high ranging from 44 to 65%. There were no significant differences in polymorphisms between areas that were limed and unlimed. Overall the red oak populations in stressed areas in Northern Ontario are sustainable.
