Bioindicators and environmental protection [PDF]
The plants capable to occlude the maximum quantity of the heavy metals (HM) from soil solution are studied. Plants - indicators of accumulation of heavy metals are allocated, the new directions on decrease in toxicity of the soil are offered. For the purpose of studying of sorption abilities of bean herbs studied accumulation of heavy metals on phases ...
