“…Zn is a metal commonly introduced to surface waters along with surface flows. Similar relations in zinc distribution in aboveground and underground sprouts of various aquatic plants have been described in the works of Vardanyan and Ingole (2006), Parzych et al (2015) and Parzych et al (2016).…”

“…The high levels of BF bs for nickel confirm the high mobility and ease of accumulation of this element in the plant tissues. The strong cumulative property of some macrophytes in reference to nickel has been confirmed in the research of Salt and Kramer (2000), Mays and Edwards (2001), Parzych (2014) and Parzych et al (2016). The values of BF w and BF bs confirm the very close interactions between water, bottom sediments and plants.…”

“…Due to the environmental pollution of bottom sediments, plants and water it is possible to observe increased concentrations of various substances of anthropogenic origin, including heavy metals (Trojanowski et al 2005;Parzych 2016;Parzych et al 2016). To evaluate the quality of reservoirs and water courses, besides bottom sediments, littoral zone plants (macropytes) are used.…”

“…Heavy metals are biologically transformed and can persist in bottom sediments over a long period (Bettinetti et al 2003;Liu et al 2009). Bioavailable forms of metals bioaccumulate in the tissues of plants and animals, resulting in an increased risk of poisoning in subsequent links of the trophic chain (Klink et al 2013;Parzych et al 2016). Eco-tox-icological tests prove that plants uptake trace elements selectively from the surrounding environment.…”

“…Such elements are used for the construction of their own tissues and participate in many metabolic conversions. Uptake of some mineral components from water and bottom sediments by plants is conditioned by a physiological demand for some of them and can also be an effect of the intoxication that results from environmental pollution Jonczak 2013, 2014;Parzych et al 2016). The heavy metal content in plant tissues depends on the content and the bio-availability of such elements in the surrounding water environment as well as the plant species, the period of vegetation and the morphological differences (Parzych 2014).…”

The paper concerns the bioaccumulation of zinc, nickel, iron and manganese in leaves and roots of selected macrophytes from the Krzynia Reservoir (northern Poland). The research was conducted within the area of 10 stations situated in the littoral zone of the reservoir. Samples of surface waters, bottom sediments and plants were taken in summer. Heavy metal content was determined by the atomic absorption spectrometry method (ASA). The concentration of heavy metals in the waters of Krzynia Reservoir was low and noinfluence of anthropogenic factors was found. Concentration of heavy metals in the examined bottom sediments was low and remained within the limits of the geochemical background for Zn and Fe. In the case of Ni and Mn it sporadically exceeded the level of the geochemical background. The tested plants mainly accumulated heavy metals in roots, with the exception of nickel which appeared in larger quantities in leaves. The relationships among the content of the determined elements in the organs of macrophytes was identical for the tested species and could be arranged into the following sequences: Mn>Fe>Ni>Zn in leaves and Fe>Mn>Zn>Ni in roots. Statistically significant differences were found in the content of Mn in leaves and Zn and Fe in the roots of Typha latifolia L. and Iris pseudacorus L. By accumulating substantial quantities of heavy metals in their organs, macrophytes constitute an effective protective barrier for the waters and bottom sediments.

Avian eggshells are convenient samples in biomonitoring studies, because they are easily accessible, especially from colonially or semicolonially breeding birds. In the present study, concentrations of 17 elements, including heavy metals and essential elements in post-hatch eggshells, were compared among three species of waterbirds of differing strategies for gaining reserves for egg production and diet: mallard, Anas platyrhynchos (ML, a capital breeder, mainly herbivorous), common tern, Sterna hirundo (CT, an income breeder, piscivorous) and black-headed gull, Chroicocephalus ridibundus (BHG, mixed strategy, omnivorous) and breeding sympatrically in three sites in North Poland. Analyses revealed that Fe, Zn, and Cu levels differed the most in the studied species, which may be explained by various contributions of fish, aquatic plants, and soil invertebrates in their diets. Generally, the studied species’ eggshells accumulated amounts of elements comparable to those reported for other waterbirds without putting the growth and development of the embryo at risk. The only exception was very high levels of Cr in ML and CT, which may be explained by their foraging on aquatic organisms in waterbodies polluted by this element. Intersite differences in eggshell concentrations of Ni, Sr, Hg and Cr in CT (an income breeder) may be explained by the influence of local pollution sources (small factories, polluted river).Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (10.1007/s00244-017-0481-y) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
