HEAVY METAL ACCUMULATION IN ROOTS OF ТARAXACUM OFFICINALE WIGG [PDF]
Soil is an active acceptor for some elements, heavy metals in particular. Microelements are firmly sorbed and interact with soil humus layer. At the same time some plants are resistant to soil contamination and can be used as bioindicators.

A comprehensive method for processing lime mud from water treatment processes into high‐strength anhydrite cement was reported. The method involves the interaction of lime mud with waste sulfuric acid from the production of polymer fibers using a one‐step structure‐controlled approach in the (CaO·Ca(OH)2·CaCO3)—H2SO4—H2O system at a temperature of 40°C.

Fluctuating asymmetry in ecological and environmental research: Quo vadis?
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Májeková et al. (2024) demonstrated that leaf fluctuating asymmetry (FA) is not a reliable indicator of stress. I broaden the perspective on the findings by these authors. High prevalence of confirmation bias could explain why as much as 39% of 131 unique entries (plant

Use of various memory ability of heavy metals by plaтts in bioindication of land ecosystems [PDF]
The cadmium and lead maintenance in plants of families Lamiaceae, Asteraceae and Fabaceae of Krasnensky area of the Belgorod region is investigated. During the analysis by a method of nuclear adsorption it is shown that concentration of total and mobile ...

ABSTRACT Chironomidae, so‐called non‐biting midges, are considered key bioindicators of aquatic ecosystem variability. Data derived from morphologically identifying their chitinous remains in sediments document chironomid larvae assemblages, which are studied to reconstruct ecosystem changes over time.

Staphylinid beetles as bioindicators [PDF]
The family Staphylinidae is one of the largest beetle families and is distributed worldwide in almost all types of ecosystems. The morpho-ecological characteristics of staphylinid beetle adults and developmental stages are summarized, and features pertaining to their potential use as bioindicators are highlighted.
