“…All phenotypic characters of plants are formed under the interaction of genetic structure (Sevik et al 2021;Kurz et al 2023;Tandogan et al 2023) and environmental factors (Özel et al 2022;Erdem et al 2023;Yigit et al 2023). In addition to environmental factors, practices such as fertilization (Sadak and Bakhoum 2022;Bakhoum et al 2023) and stress factors such as drought (Bakhoum et al 2022;Hanafy and Sadak 2023), UV-B, radiation, and heavy metals also affect plant growth (Ucun Özel et al 2019;Özel et al 2021a,b;Ghoma et al 2023). The different levels of genetic structure and genetic diversity cause their reactions to environmental stress factors to be different.…”

Nowadays, the applications of nanotechnology are increasing in various fields such as information technology, energy, the medical sector, and agriculture. Nanotechnology has proved its ability to solve problems in agriculture and related industries. Establishing the impact of nanoparticles on various ecosystems has become a primary research topic, but studies on forest ecosystems and trees are quite limited. This study examined the effects of silver nanoparticles on the germination parameters of oriental beech seeds and established their toxic threshold values. Silver nanoparticles were applied at concentrations of 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 mg/L to oriental beech (Fagus orientalis) seeds collected from 10 different populations in order to identify the germination rate, germination percentage, seedling height, root collar diameter, plumula length, radicle thickness, and radicle length parameters. The results revealed that silver nanoparticles have a negative effect on germination and seedling parameters of oriental beech seeds, and that this effect is clearly seen in the germination rate at 20 mg/L levels and in seedling characters starting from 60 mg/L dose, causing a decrease of 13% in germination rate, 24% in germination percentage, 40% in plumula length, and 30% in radicle length. The Kahramanmaras-Andirin population was found to be the most affected by nanoparticles, while the Bursa-Inegol and Ordu-Akkus populations were the least affected.

“…Factors that cause significant and permanent changes in climatic parameters, such as global climate change [42], trigger the stress mechanisms of plants [63]. In addition, increasing UV-B stress due to climate change [43], anthropogenic radiation [27], and heavy metal pollution [18] are important sources of stress for plants. These stress sources inevitably affect plant metabolism and, therefore, plants' heavy metal accumulation potential [36].…”

“…The raw data were evaluated with the help of variance analysis (ANOVA) and the Duncan test using the SPSS 22.0 package program. This method has been frequently used in studies on heavy metal analysis in recent years and is used in both soil [25,26] and plant parts [27,28] is frequently used for analysis.…”

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.

Background: Thallium (Tl), which is one of the most toxic and destructive heavy metals for human and environmental health, has a higher level of chronic and acute toxicity in comparison to many harmful elements (such as Pb, Hg, Cd, and As) in comparison to many harmful elements and is classified as one of 13 primary metal contaminants by the US EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) and in ATSDR's primary pollutant list. Thus, monitoring the Tl pollution in the air and reducing the pollution are among the primary research subjects. The existing study aims to determine the species that are suitable for monitoring and reducing the Tl pollution in Düzce province, Türkiye, which is the fifth-most polluted province in Europe in terms of air pollution. This study analyzed the changes in Tl concentration in the samples (wood, outer and inner bark) taken from species grown in Düzce by species, organ, direction, and age groups in the last 40 years.Results: As an outcome, the uppermost Tl concentrations were found in the outer barks, and it is thought to be caused by air pollution. The outcomes achieved in the existing study revealed that the suitable species to be used in watching the Tl pollution in the air are Cupressus arizonica and Picea orientalis, whereas those to be used in reducing the Tl pollution are Pinus pinaster, Cedrus atlantica, Cupressus arizonica, and Pseudotsuga menziesii.Conclusions: Cupressus arizonica is a species that can be effectively used in both monitoring and decreasing Tl pollution.
