Abstract
Potential for trace elements accumulation of the species Goniolimon tataricum (L.) Boiss.was estimated. Plant tissues of Goniolimon tataricum and associated soils were sampled from four sites in Serbia and Republic of Macedonia located on two different geological substrates (ultramafics and dolomites). The aims of the present study were to investigate the levels of P2O5, K2O, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn, Co, Cr, Cu, Cd and Pb in the soils and plant tissues of G. tataricum from these four localities. Soil samples collected from ultramafics contained elevated levels of almost all analysed trace elements and Ca/Mg quotients for the available fraction are close to 1. As for the dolomitic samples, they were characterized by elevated levels of Cd, Mn, Pb, Zn, Ca, and remarkably high Ca/Mg ratio. In plant tissues of G. tataricum remarkably high concentrations of Mg, Cu and Cr were measured (up to 16584, 321 and 71.4 mg/kg, respectively). This survey suggests that some G. tataricum populations from the ultramafic and dolomite soils of Serbia and the Republic of Macedonia emerge as Cu and Cr accumulators and could be used for phytoextraction purposes.
