“…Only reed canary grass showed higher concentrations than reported in leaves of helophytes growing in uncontaminated areas (Bonanno and Lo Giudice 2010) and some polluted water bodies (Fawzy et al 2012;Samecka-Cymerman and Kempers 2001). According to Polechońska and Klink (2014), zinc mobility within the tissues of Phalaris arundinacea is low and only a little fraction of this metal taken up by the roots is allocated to the stems and leaves. Zinc was classified as easily bioaccumulated metal (Kabata-Pendias 2004); however, its absorption is known to be inhibited by excess of Fe and Cu (Kabata-Pendias and Pendias 2001).…”

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.

“…Moreover, Pb tends to accumulate in roots and its translocation into the above-ground organs is low (Bonanno 2013). Also, Klink et al (2014) as well as Polechońska and Klink (2014) noted very low Pb transport rate within the aerial plant organs of G. maxima and Phalaris arundinacea, respectively.…”

“…It depends mainly on plant species (Vymazal, 2013), season (Eida et al, 2012) and metal mobility (Bonanno and Lo Giudice, 2010). In emergent plants, metals are more accumulated in the belowground parts than in the aerial parts (Galletti et al, 2010;Polecho nska and Klink, 2014). Protection barriers preventing metal transfers from root to shoot have been reported (Klink et al, 2013).…”

“…The heavy metals can be released from the bottom sediments into the water column from organic matter [18]. Some of them can be accumulated mainly in plant roots, and only a small fraction of them taken up by roots can by allocated to stems and leaves [19].…”

The development of dams alters the structure and function of river ecosystems. Dam reservoirs have an impact on flow regime, sediment transport, and water quality. Damming a river decreases water velocity, which leads to an increase in suspended sediments deposition. Reservoirs often are described as water treatment plants because they trap water contaminants and suspended sediments. Suspended sediments are the principal factor for heavy metals transport [1][2]. Human activity increased input of heavy metals to water bodies where sediments are deposited [3][4][5][6][7][8]. Amin et al. [9] and Zheng et. al. [10] reported that more than 90% of the heavy metal load in the water bodies has been associated with suspended particulate matter and sediments. The spatial and seasonal variations of heavy metal loads are controlled by suspended sediment concentrations as well as water pH, which controls the absorbance of heavy metals [11].The spatial distribution of sediments in a reservoir is not uniform [12]. Toward the dam, sediments are usually more fine-grained and lithologically uniform [13]. The heavy metals concentrations generally increased with the decrease of particle size and increase of organic matter. The concentration of heavy metals in Pol. AbstractThe aim of this study was to analyze the heavy metals transport in a river-reservoir system. Sediment samples from 25 locations (9 from the Powa River and 16 from the Stare Miasto Reservoir) were analyzed for trace metals contents (Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb). The relationships between heavy metal concentrations and bottom sediment physical properties were determined with the use of the multivariate statistical techniques cluster analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA), and canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). The results showed that concentrations of heavy metals in the sediments of the reservoir were higher than those in the bottom sediments of the river. Concentrations of heavy metals in bottom sediments in the river above the reservoir were characterized by lower spatial variability. Decisive influence on heavy metal concentrations of bottom sediments had silt, clay, and total organic matter content.
