“…Seasonal distribution of all the heavy metals in the water showed statistically significant difference (p<0.05). (Sklodowski et al 2006;Balkis et al 2010). In this study, as shown in Figure 3; when suspended solid matter increased, the amount of heavy metal in the root, stem and leaf decreased, or vice versa.…”

“…Importance of soil pH value for availability of heavy metals to plants was reported 15,16 .Solubilityof heavy metals is highly pH dependent and, it increases with a decrease in soil pH. Heavy metal sorption mechanisms in soils are influenced by soil pH, and hence, soil sorption capacity will be greatly affected by any change in pH.…”

Cadmium is a naturally occurring minor element, one of the metallic components in the earth's crust and oceans and present everywhere. Agricultural soils may also be enriched by cadmium which causes it's accumulation in plants and pose a potential threat to human health. Also high concentrations of cadmium in soil have detrimental effects on ecosystem as it enters the food chain. Soil samples were collected from different places near sewage disposal areas in Coimbatore where the source of cadmium is likely to be threatening the public. Twenty six samples were collected, their physiochemical properties and total cadmium content were determined. Five soil samples that showed high levels of more than 3 mg kg -1 of cadmium were identified as hotspots and their Arbuscularmycorrhizal spore count were assessed.

“…The availability of those elements and their mobility in soil are affected by very many factors; the content of organic matter, the concentration of iron compounds and pH as well as the grain size composition of the soil itself [31,32]. The metal toxicity also decreases with an increase in organic substance which limits the amount of the forms of heavy metals available to plants [35]. The uptake of heavy metals can be limited or inhibited by some macro-and micronutrients.…”

“…The compounds of phosphorus which occur in nature are not harmful to living organisms. Nevertheless its excess in terrestrial ecosystems can lead to a decrease in the biodiversity, while in the aquatic ecosystems -to limiting the availability of oxygen which, in turn, leads to disappearance of life [35].…”

Abstract:The paper presents the research results for the soils sampled from the area located in the eastern part of the Chodzieskie Lakes, between the Middle Noteć River Valley and the Wełna River Valley, the right tributary of the Warta River. The research involved 7 soil samples from the surface horizons, allocated to the cultivation of various plant species (cereals and vegetable crops). The following were determined in the soil material: the content of phytoavailable forms of selected heavy metals Zn, Cu, Pb, Ni, Fe and Mn, active and available to plants phosphorus against the activity of selected oxydo-reduction and hydrolytic enzymes. The soil under the vegetable crops showed a very high richness in phosphorus available to plants, which must have been related to an intensive fertilisation. There were identifi ed relatively low contents of the available forms of the heavy metals investigated, the fact that points to their natural content in soil, which triggered the inhibition of neither the oxydo-reduction nor hydrolytic enzymes.
