Accumulation of cadmium, copper and zinc in selected natural Viola taxa in Turkish Mediterranean serpentine soils

Abstract

Currently, 55 serpentine areas have been determined in Turkey. More than 60 Ni-accumulators and more than 43 serpentine-endemics are known from these areas. Within our field studies in the Mediterranean phytogeographic region, 8 Viola taxa distributed in serpentine areas and their respective soil samples were collected. Cd, Cu, and Zn concentrations of the soil and plant samples were investigated. After the plant and soil samples were digested in the microwave, metal measurements were made using a ICP-OES device. As a result of the Cd, Cu, and Zn measurements, none of the 8 Viola taxa collected from different localities were found to be hyperaccumulators. However, it was determined that Viola kizildaghensis has an accumulator feature in terms of Zn.
