Abstract
X-ray fluorescence analysis using synchrotron radiation is applied to determine the elemental composition in the leaves of Pentaphylloides fruticosa (L.) O.Schwarz (bush cinquefoil) and Lonicera caerulea subsp. altaica ((Pall.) Gladkova) (blue honeysuckle) growing in a geologically active area. It is found that in the studied period, the total content of microelements increases in the Pentaphylloides fruticosa leaves in the area of geological heterogeneity than that in the control one, and on the contrary, it decreases in Lonicera caerulea. The relationship between Fe/Mn, Ca/Sr, Cu/Zn, and K/Rb ratios and the geochemical and geophysical features of the environment and element accumulation by different types of plants is established. It is noted that two types of bushes under study react differently to changes in the geochemical and geophysical characteristics of the environment.
