“…While some of the heavy metals, many of which are the primary raw materials of industrial and agricultural activities, can be toxic, carcinogenic, and fatal to living creatures even at low concentrations [11], it is stated that even some of them, which are the basic building blocks of living organisms, are harmful at high concentrations [12,13]. Heavy metals, which do not easily deteriorate through natural processes after their release into nature, pose a great threat to living organisms and the ecosystem [14,15]. Barium (Ba) and manganese (Mn) are among the most dangerous and harmful heavy metals for living organisms and the ecosystem, especially humans [16].…”

Heavy metals are pollutants that pose a great threat to humans, other living things, and the ecosystem. All barium (Ba) compounds, one of the most dangerous and harmful heavy metals, are poisonous. Manganese (Mn) is a harmful heavy metal that can cause hallucinations, fatigue, insomnia, weakness, forgetfulness, nerve damage, Parkinson's, and lung embolism. Therefore, observing the changes in Ba and Mn concentrations in the air is essential. This study aimed to determine the change of Ba and Mn heavy metals in the Cedrus atlantica tree based on direction, period, and organ. As a result, the annual rings of Cedrus atlantica show that the transfer of both heavy metals into the wood of Cedrus atlantica was limited. Therefore, the species is a suitable biomonitor that can be used to monitor the changes in Ba and Mn concentrations in the air. In addition, the study results revealed that the concentrations of both elements in the outer barks are quite high, and Ba pollution is primarily caused by traffic.

“…Nutrient elements are the basic building blocks of plants and are found at different levels in different organs of plants after being taken from the soil. Speciation of nutrients within the plant after they are taken from the soil, determining their contribution to plant development, and knowing their transfer between organs are of great importance in terms of fully understanding the factors affecting plant development [14][15][16]. This study aims to contribute to eliminating the knowledge gaps in this field.…”

One of the most essential factors in plant development is the nutrient content in the soil. Phosphorus (P) and potassium (K), essential macronutrients in plant nutrition, are vital in plant growth and development. Therefore, although many studies have been conducted on these elements in agricultural plants, the number of studies on forest trees could be much higher. In particular, there needs to be more information about the accumulation and transfer of these elements in different plant tissues. This study examined the change and transfer of P and K concentrations in the Corylus colurna tree's trunk parts. Within the scope of the study, the differences in P and K concentrations in the Corylus colurna trunk were examined based on organ, direction, and period. As a result, the most elevated concentrations of both elements were in the barks; the difference in direction was not evident in the wood, and both elements could be transferred within the wood.

“…Air pollution has many components including particle matters, CO2, and various volatile organic compounds [7][8][9][10]. Among these compounds, the most dangerous one for human life is heavy metals [11][12][13][14]. Some of the heavy metals such as Pb, Cr, Ni, and Hg are toxic, carcinogenic, and harmful to the organisms, especially to humans, even when at low concentrations [15][16][17].…”

The advancements worldwide in the last century made air pollution one of the most important problems threatening human health on a global scale. One of the most harmful components of air pollution is heavy metals. For this reason, monitoring and reducing heavy metal pollution has been one of the main research subjects in recent years. In the present study, the accumulation of Mn, Zn, Ba, and Sr, which were included in the preliminary pollutant list by ATSDR (Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry) since they pose a significant threat to human health, by plant species and organ was investigated. As a result of the present study, the highest concentrations were found in the leaves. The most useful species to be utilized in monitoring the change of the concentrations of heavy metals examined here in the air and to reduce the level of pollution were found to be Cotoneaster franchetii and Platycladus orientalis.
