Taxus baccata as a Bioindicator of Urban Environmental Pollution
Concentrations of the elements Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, N, Ni, P, Pb, and Zn were measured in needles and bark of Taxus baccata from the urban environment of Wrocław, Poland, and from a control site relatively free from pollution. In Wrocław the concentrations of N, P, K, and Mg in needles were significantly higher than in bark, but concentrations of Cd, Co, Cr, Cu Fe, Ni, and Zn were...
متن کاملAfrican land snail Achatina marginatus, as bioindicator of environmental pollution
Activity of xanthine oxidase, levels of lipid peroxidation and ascorbic acid were studied in African land snail (Achatina marginatus) from two sites with different pollution potentials. Lipid peroxidation was significantly higher in the snails from the polluted site compared to the value obtained from the same species from the control site. Similarly, the activity of xanthine oxidase in the sna...
متن کاملThe death of honey bees and environmental pollution by pesticides: the honey bees as biological indicators
The monitoring of pesticides with honey bees, which has been carried out by our group since the beginning of the 1980’s, is an extremely important technique not only for proving potential bee poisoning risks by the use of pesticides, but also for determining the degree of environmental contamination due to plant protection products. In fact, because of its morphological and ethological features...
متن کاملPhotosynthetic Efficiency as Bioindicator of Environmental Pressure in A. halleri.
In earlier ecophysiological studies that were conducted on Arabidopsis halleri plants, scientists focused on the mechanisms of Cd and Zn hyperaccumulation but did not take into consideration the environmental factors that can significantly affect the physiological responses of plants in situ. In this study, we investigated A. halleri that was growing on two nonmetalliferous and three metallifer...
