Investigation of Mineral Nutrient and Heavy Metal Accumulation Status of Senecio Vernalis Waldst. & Kit. Collected from Different Habitats of Aksaray/Turkey

ORCID Icon, &
 

ABSTRACT

In this study, Senecio vernalis Waldst. & Kit. was analyzed to determine a phytoremediation potential and nutritional contents are estimated. The plant and soil samples were collected between Karaören and Karkın villages in Aksaray in May (2021). The mineral contents (Al, Ba, Ca, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Ni, P, S, Zn) of the collected plant and soil samples were determined by ICP-MS and the obtained data were analyzed statistically. In soil, Ca, Fe, K and Zn values were in the optimal value whereas Al, Cu, Mg, Mn and Ni values were above the optimal values. This means that there is bioaccumulation of these heavy metals (Al, Cu, Mg, Mn and Ni) in the soil. Likewise, the concentrations of Ca, Cu, K, Mn and Zn in the plant were among the optimum values, while Al, Fe, Mg, and Ni ratios were higher than the quantification limit. The rate of these metals in the roots and other shoots of the plant are higher than in the soil. Our results showed that Senecio vernalis is a very good accumulator of Fe, Mg and Ni, and also the phytoextraction and phytoremediation ability of the plant is high.

摘要

在这项研究中, 千里光配套元件通过分析确定了植物修复潜力, 并对营养成分进行了估算. 植物和土壤样本于2021年5月在阿克萨雷的Karaören村和Karkın村之间采集. 通过ICP-MS测定采集的植物和土壤样品中的矿物质含量 (铝、钡、钙、铜、铁、钾、镁、锰、镍、磷、硫、锌), 并对所得数据进行统计分析. 在土壤中, Ca、Fe、K和Zn值处于最佳值, 而Al、Cu、Mg、Mn和Ni值高于最佳值. 这意味着这些重金属 (铝、铜、镁、锰和镍) 在土壤中有生物累积. 同样, 植株中钙、铜、钾、锰和锌的浓度在最佳值之间, 而铝、铁、镁和镍的比例高于定量限. 这些金属在植物根和其他枝条中的含量高于土壤中的含量. 结果表明, 千里光是铁、镁、镍的良好蓄积体, 其植物提取和修复能力也很强.
