Abstract
This paper presents the results of research on the Ba, Li and Ti content in six species of herbs sampled from mid-field wet depressions and from the soil. These temporary flooded depressions were surrounded by arable crops, permanent grassland and shrubby vegetation. The research area was located in the eastern part of the Mazovian Voivodeship, east-central Poland. The following plants were used in the experiment: corn mint (Mentha arvensis L.), purple marshlocks (Comarum palustre L.), silverweed (Potentilla anserina L.), yarrow (Achillea millefolium L.), yellow loosestrife (Lysimachia vulgaris L.) and gypsy-wort (Lycopus europaeus L.). The Li, Ba and Ti content of plants, bottom sediment and soil was determined by the ICP-AES method after previous dry mineralization. Of the six herb species, Mentha arvensis L. was with the greatest accumulation potential of the chemical elements. However, no excessive Ba, Li and Ti content was found in herbs growing at different distances from arable fields, permanent grassland and shrubby vegetation. The highest Ba content was found in periodically flooded soil (zone II), while the highest amounts of Li and Ti were recorded in non-flooded soil (zone III).
Highlights
Academic Editors: Mateja Germ, With the socio-economic development of rural areas and as a consequence of structural changes in agriculture, environmental degradation is observed, eliminating natural biocenoses and having a direct impact on the deterioration of water and air quality [1–3]
The greatest variation of Ba content was recorded in Potentilla anserina L., Mentha arvensis L
As the average of all moisture zone, the highest content of Ba was found in the biomass of Potentilla anserina L. and Mentha arvensis L. and Li in the biomass of Achillea millefolium L., Mentha arvensis L. and Lycopus europaeus L
Summary
Academic Editors: Mateja Germ, With the socio-economic development of rural areas and as a consequence of structural changes in agriculture, environmental degradation is observed, eliminating natural biocenoses and having a direct impact on the deterioration of water and air quality [1–3]. The share of such habitats in the landscape is difficult to determine so their ecological analysis and impact on the functioning of neighboring terrestrial ecosystems is important. Determination of the chemical composition of plants growing in small aquatic ecosystems is extremely important due to the possibility of obtaining herbal raw materials in their natural state [6–9].
