Determining the Some Heavy Metal Content of Pinus sylvestris Needles and Soil in the Urban Forest by the Side of the Road
Abstract
One of the significant factors having a role in plant development is elements. Decrease in quantities of some elements results in plant nutrition disorders while increase of them might do harm to plant. Apart from that, there are elements that affect plants in terms of toxic effect. They are mostly heavy metals. Heavy metals with industrial-based and transportation-based pollutants have an impact on natural environment. It is clear that plants are affected by environmental factors, too. Heavy metal pollution in soil is also one of the significant environmental problems. It has a big influence on human and animal health via food chain. Hence, it is quite vital to recognize the type and the amount of heavy metal as well as reasons causing accumulation in the sense of plant development and soil health.
In this sense, the aim of the present research is to determine the effects based on heavy metals especially vehicle-driven on plants and soil by using scotch pine needles and soil samples. In the study, it is confirmed that heavy metal accumulation is too much by the side of the road where there is a traffic density while the accumulation rate is getting lower and lower as you step into woods.
