“…In comparison with these data, the Cd content in the examined soil was lower and those of Cu, Pb and Zn were higher. The maximum concentrations of Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn and Zn in geothermal sites were higher than those reported by Kolon et al ( 2020 ) for Icelandic soil (ESM 3 ). The maximum total As concentration found was higher than the allowable level of 20 mg kg -1 in agricultural soil (Kabata-Pendias 2001 ).…”

“…In this investigation, there was no significant difference in the concentration of available Fe in soil between geothermal and control zones (Burns and Leathwick 1995). Plant-available soil metal concentrations were lower (except for Mn) than those presented in ESM 4 for soil samples from other nongeothermal areas in Iceland (Kolon et al 2020). Soils from the control sites in Iceland contained significantly more (U Mann-Whitney test) plant-available As, Cu, Ni and Ti and significantly less Mn than those from geothermal sites (ESM 4).…”

This investigation was conducted to identify the content of metals in Calluna vulgaris (family Ericaceae), Empetrum nigrum (family Ericaceae), Festuca vivipara (family Poaceae) and Thymus praecox subsp. arcticus (family Lamiaceae), as well as in the soils where they were growing in eight geothermal heathlands in Iceland. Investigation into the vegetation of geothermal areas is crucial and may contribute to their proper protection in the future and bring more understanding under what conditions the plants respond to an ecologically more extreme situation. Plants from geothermally active sites were enriched with metals as compared to the same species from non-geothermal control sites (at an average from about 150 m from geothermal activity). The enriched metals consisted of Cd, Co, Cu, Fe and Ni in C. vulgaris; Cd, Mn and Ti in E. nigrum; Hg and Pb in F. vivipara; and Cd, Fe and Hg in T. praecox. Notably, C. vulgaris, E. nigrum, F. vivipara and T. praecox had remarkably high concentrations of Ti at levels typical of toxicity thresholds. Cd and Pb (except for C. vulgaris and F. vivipara) were not accumulated in the shoots of geothermal plants. C. vulgaris from geothermal and control sites was characterised by the highest bioaccumulation factor (BF) of Ti and Mn; E. nigrum and F. vivipara by the highest BF of Ti and Cr; and T. praecox by the highest BF of Ti and Zn compared to the other elements. In comparison with the other examined species, F. vivipara from geothermal sites had the highest concentration of Ti in above-ground parts at any concentration of plant-available Ti in soil.

The paper is devoted to bioindication of chernozem soils. The soil was used from the row spacing and trunk lanes of the apple orchard, as well as in its natural state. The soil in these places has different properties. The winter wheat, the barley and the oats were sown on the soil. Differences in the productivity of the vegetative mass and its availability of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium were obtained. It was found that only the wheat and the barley are sensitive to the changes in soil properties.
