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.

Türkiye Akdeniz serpantin topraklarında seçilmiş doğal viola taksonlarının kadmiyum, bakır ve çinko akümülasyonu

Abstract

Ülkemizde 55 serpantin alan belirlenmiş ve bu alanlarda 60’dan fazla Ni akümülatörü ve 43’den fazla sayıda serpantin endemiği olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Akdeniz fitocoğrafik bölgesinde yapmış olduğumuz arazi çalışmalarında serpantin alanlarda yayılış gösteren 8 Viola taksonu ve bunların yetiştiği toprak örnekleri toplandı. Toplanan 8 Viola taksonunun yetiştiği topraklar ve bitkilerdeki Cd, Cu, ve Zn konsantrasyonları araştırılmıştır. Bitki ve toprak örnekleri mikrodalgada çözüldükten sonra metal ölçümleri ICP-OES cihazında yapılmıştır. Farklı lokalitelerden toplanan 8 Viola taksonunda yapılan Cd, Cu, ve Zn ölçümleri sonucunda hiçbir bitkide hiperakümülatör özelliği tespit edilememiştir. Ancak, Viola kizildaghensis bitkisinin Zn yönünden akümülator özelliğinin olduğu belirlenmiştir.
