Abstract

Soil is an essential component for the lives of plants, as well as water and air are. The elements in the soil direct the metabolic activities such as beginning, formation, and continuity of life. The level of nutrient elements in the body determines the status of vital activities. The amount of nutrient elements in soil and the mechanism of plants’ intake of these elements vary between the species. Calcium (Ca), one of the main macronutrient elements, is of vital importance for many vital functions such as cell wall and membrane for plants and trees, but its deficiency results in developmental losses, yield losses, stress, and even death. In fact, under the effect of mutual interaction between genetic factors and environmental factors, it accumulates within the species at different levels. In this study, the species used for determining the amount of the Ca were obtained from an industrial zone in Kocaeli province in the year 2020. The annual rings of Robinia pseudoacacia, Cupressus arizonica, and Platanus orientalis were used during the analyses. Thanks to the multiple annual rings of these trees, the variability of the Ca concentrations could be determined by years.
