Impact of Metal/Metalloid-Contaminated Areas on Plant Growth

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Plant-Based Remediation Processes

Part of the book series: Soil Biology ((SOILBIOL,volume 35))

Abstract

The efficiency of plants growing in areas polluted by heavy metals/metalloids depends on many factors having different influences. The aim of this work was to determine the influence of selected factors (soil, microbes, and the kind of plant) on plant growth in polluted areas and to compare selected plants for accumulation of heavy metals. The role of soil conditions in natural plant growth and changes of the most important soil parameters as factors of stimulation or inhibition of plant growth are described. Attention is drawn to the significant role of both nutrients (essential for appropriate plant growth) and trace elements present in soil as well as quantitative and qualitative composition of the soil solid phase with respect to plant growth and accumulation efficiency of selected elements. Additionally, we compare three groups of plants (hyperaccumulators, non-hyperaccumulators, and transgenic plants) characterised generally by accumulation efficiency of different metals/metalloids and growth in the same soil conditions.
