“…The mean value of metal bioaccumulation factor ordered as follows: Szymanowska et al (1999) Cd > Zn > Ni > Mn > Cu > Pb > Fe. For Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni, and Pb BF values were higher than unity (Table 2), confirming high uptake efficiency of these elements (Eid et al 2012). According to Khazheeva et al (2005), on the basis of the bioaccumulation factor, aquatic plants can be divided into three groups: macroconcentrators (BF > 2), microconcentrators (1 < BF < 2), and deconcentrators (BF < 1).…”

“…The mobility of trace metals within the plants was rather lower than transport efficiency from sediment into the plants rhizomes. For the majority of metals analyzed, translocation factors (TF) were significantly below 1, confirming high root retention capacity and low intensity of metals transfer to other plants organs (Eid et al 2012). Exception occurred only for Mn, which was the most mobile and only one whose mean TF value was higher than unity.…”

The contents of Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb, and Zn in leaves of Typha latifolia (broadleaf cattail), water and bottom sediment from 72 study sites designated in different regions of Poland were determined using atomic absorption spectrometry. The aim of the study was to evaluate potential use of T. latifolia in biomonitoring of trace metal pollution. The self-organizing feature map (SOFM) identifying groups of sampling sites with similar concentrations of metals in cattail leaves was able to classify study sites according to similar use and potential sources of pollution. Maps prepared for water and bottom sediment showed corresponding groups of sampling sites which suggested similarity of samples features. High concentrations of Fe, Cd, Cu, and Ni were characteristic for industrial areas. Elevated Pb concentrations were noted in regions with intensive vehicle traffic, while high Mn and Zn contents were reported in leaves from the agricultural area. Manganese content in leaves of T. latifolia was high irrespectively of the concentrations in bottom sediments and water so cattail can be considered the leaf accumulator of Mn. Once trained, SOFMs can be applied in ecological investigations and could form a future basis for recognizing the type of pollution in aquatic environments by analyzing the concentrations of elements in T. latifolia.

“…Although some metals are needed as micronutrients for autotrophic organisms, at higher concentrations, they can have toxic effects (Baldantoni et al 2004). Moreover, heavy metals are pollutants that cannot be degraded in microbial or chemical process (Eid et al 2012). Elevated trace metal concentrations in the environment reflect the intensity of urbanization and anthropogenic pressure (KuusistoHjort and Hjort 2013).…”

In the present study, the concentrations of trace and alkali metals in leaves of four common helophytes, Sparganium erectum, Glyceria maxima, Phalaris arundinacea, and Phragmites australis, as well as in corresponding water and bottom sediments were investigated to ascertain plant bioaccumulation ability. Results showed that Mn and Fe were the most abundant trace metals in all plant species, while Co and Pb contents were the lowest. Leaves of species studied differed significantly in respect of element concentrations. The highest concentrations of Mg, Na, Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, and Ni were noted in S. erectum while the highest contents of Co, Ca, Zn, and Cr in Phalaris arundinacea. Phragmites australis contained the lowest amounts of most elements. Concentrations of Co, Cr, Fe, and Mn in all species studied and Ni in all except for Phragmites australis were higher than natural for hydrophytes. The leaves/sediment ratio was more than unity for all alkali metals as well as for Cu and Mn in Phragmites australis; Cr, Co, and Zn in Phalaris arundinacea; Cr and Mn in S. erectum; and Cr in G. maxima. High enrichment factors and high levels of toxic metals in the species studied indicated a special ability of these plants to absorb and store certain non-essential metals and, consequently, their potential for phytoremediation of contaminated aquatic ecosystems.

“…According to many authors, the peak of nutrient uptake (including mineral micronutrients and non-essential metals) by macrophytes in similar aquatic habitats is observed in early summer. After reaching the peak value, a decrease of metal content in the aboveground organs is often noted due to metabolic slowdown and metal dilution in growing plant biomass (Eid et al 2012;Maksimovic et al 2014). In our study, a ''dilution effect'' of metal contents was not observed.…”

Common reed (Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud.) plants were harvested from four natural water ecosystems of the Bogdanka river catchment (Poznań, Poland) four times throughout the 2014 vegetative season. Over the year, average metal contents followed different decreasing trends according to the analyzed tissue: (leaves), and mean translocation ratios (leaves/rhizomes) were found as follows: 0.93, 0.70, 0.65, 0.40 for Zn, Pb, Cd and Cu, respectively. Metal content increased gradually during the growing season, and in the case of Cu, Cd and Pb exceeded the upper limit of average concentration detected in plants from natural ecosystems. However, the content of salicylic acid did not follow the increase of metal accumulation. In rhizomes, the highest production of the metabolite was observed in May and reached 324 ng g -1 fresh weight (FW) (mean value). Afterwards, a significant drop to 50 ng g -1 FW was observed. Simultaneously, the highest values of total salicylic acid in P. australis leaves were observed in July and accompanied the intensive development of the aboveground biomass of the plant (11.3 lg g -1 FW-mean value). Subsequently, its content in leaves showed a significant decrease down to 2.1 lg g -1 FW in November. Multivariate regression analysis revealed significant interactions between analyzed metals influencing the plant response to metal-derived stress. Cu and Zn showed antagonistic properties considering their uptake and the induction of salicylic acid biosynthesis, whereas non-essential metals (Pb and Cd) acted similarly and stimulated the formation of salicylic acid glucoside.
