Abstract

The This chapter discusses the access of metals to ecosystems and mechanisms for entering trees. The transfer of metals from soil (also owing to an aerogenic load of metals) to trees should be steady; however, external or internal factors determine the investigated system. Environmental pollution, in terms of trees, acts as a stressor as it is classified as an external, ecological, and abiotic factor. Tree diseases are a no less important example of biotic factors and are among the consequences of climate change, attracting attention to the sustainability of forest management. This chapter deals with examples of abiotic and biotic factors, discusses the biological uptake of metals in wood, and examines the differences and peculiarities of metal bioavailability, bioaccumulation, and biophilicity in trees.
