“…Therefore, there was no consistent link between the contents of available elements in the soil and their accumulation in the current-year wood. It is well known that soil testing methods only characterize some of the factors that influence nutrient supply to the roots of plants [ 20 ], and the assessment of the available fraction of nutrients in the soil, which is quite a useful method for studying, e.g., soil pollution effects [ 21 ], is probably of limited value when the effects of water deficit are analysed. Our data indicate that it is crucial to perform not only soil-based but also wood-based analyses of element concentrations to adequately assess the availability of nutrients for plants during water shortage.…”

The deterioration of plant mineral nutrition during drought is a significant factor in the negative influence of drought on plant performance. We aimed to study the effects of seasonal and multiyear water shortages on nutrient supply and demand in Scots pine and Norway spruce. We studied pine and spruce trees naturally grown in the Bryansk region (Russia). The dynamics of several nutrients (K, Ca, Mg, P, Fe, Mn, Zn, and Ca) in wood, needles, and bark of current-year twigs and the dynamics of the available pools of these elements at different soil depths were analysed. To assess the physiological consequences of changes in element concentrations, lipid peroxidation products and photosynthetic pigments were measured in the needles. Water shortage increased the wood concentrations of all elements except for Mn. In pine, this increase was mainly due to seasonal water deficit, whereas in spruce, multiyear differences in water supply were more important. This increased availability of nutrients was not observed in soil-based analyses. In needles, quite similar patterns of changes were found between species, with Mg increasing almost twofold and Fe and Mn decreasing under water shortage, whereas the remainder of the elements did not change much under differing water supplies. Neither the concentrations of photosynthetic pigments nor the contents of lipid peroxidation products correlated with element dynamics in needles. In summary, water shortage increased the availability of all elements except Mn for the plant; however, needle element contents were regulated independently of element availability for plants.

“…The well-developed cement and lime industry causes far-reaching transformations of soil [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Pollutants are emitted in the form of dusts and gases, which in turn causes their release to all components of the environment, including soils [7,8,10,12].…”

“…The chemical composition of cement and lime dust is relatively constant and depends on the composition of raw materials used in technological processes. The emitted dust contains mainly CaO (<43%) and is characterised by high pH KCl values (<12.5) in terms of alkaline pH, which, due to many years of emission, significantly affects the properties of soil [12,[15][16][17][18]. Moreover, it is more often indicated that the excessive deposition of cement and lime dust into soils is a highly stressful factor causing acute physiological reactions in plants, including the reduction of photosynthesis and gas exchange [7,19].…”

“…In the case of lime production, a large amount of CaO and CO 2 is released. Significant amounts of calcium ions entering the soil cause the effect of "over-fertilization"-alkalisation which can chemically degrade soils [15,17,[19][20][21][22]. Although soil alkalisation is relatively rare in Poland, it is this process which has been responsible for the largest transformation of soils in theŚwiętokrzyskie Province in recent years.…”

This study presents the influence of the cement and lime industry on the physical and chemical properties of arable soils. In spite of using modern forms of environmental protection against dust emissions, this type of industry causes unfavourable phenomenon of excessive alkalisation of soil. This process is relatively rare in Poland. However, in the Świętokrzyskie Province, it has been responsible for the largest transformation of soils in recent years. The analysis included soil samples taken from five profiles located in the vicinity of Dyckerhoff Polska Sp. z o.o. Nowiny Cement Plant. The study results obtained in 2019 were compared with those obtained in 1978 and 2005. The most attention was paid to soil pH; CaCO3 content; organic carbon and nitrogen content; concentrations of available components such as P2O5, K2O and Mg; and the saturation level of sorption complex with alkaline cations. It was found that long-term imission of pollutants caused significant changes in the basic soil properties, which remain in soils despite the evident decrease in the cement-lime dust emission. These include high pH values, excessive CaCO3 content, high soil saturation with alkaline cations and decreases in total carbon content, which were especially visible in soil humus horizons.

“…Of particular interest are the in situ studies carried out on plants, naturally living in contaminated areas, and plant test-systems. The influence of radiation accidents [1,2], heavy metal pollution [3,4], pesticides and oil products [5][6][7], industrial enterprises [8], as well as the conditions of urban areas [9][10][11] was studied using these methods.…”

The dynamics of the territories exposed to significant anthropogenic pollution by heavy metals (Kabardino-Balkar Republic) and oil products (Chechen Republic) were studied. The level of soil pollution and its genotoxic effect were determined during the intensive activity of the enterprises-sources of pollution, and 10-17 years after their liquidation. The level of soil contamination with heavy metals was determined using the method of X-ray fluorescence analysis, petroleum products by infrared spectroscopy and benz(a)pyrene by spectrofluorometric analysis at low temperatures. To determine the genotoxic effect of pollution we used plants naturally growing in the study areas (Taraxacum officinale Wigg. s.l.). We applied anaphase/telophase method in root meristem cells to identify the frequency of chromosomal aberrations. The level of mutations in plants in contaminated areas increased by 4.5-6.7 times during the work of enterprises. After the liquidation of enterprises, the level of pollution decreased. Mutation rate also declined but remained higher than in the clean zones by 3.3-3.5 times. Thus, it was found that, despite the decrease in soil contamination, the genotoxic effect persists.
