Plant communities in multi-metal contaminated soils: a case study in the National Park of Alta Murgia (Apulia region - Southern Italy).

abstract：:Scirpus americanus Pers. occurs naturally in "San Germán," a pond that serves as a receptor of industrial wastewater in Guanajuato, México. This plant accumulates metals mainly in the root: concentrations (mg/kg) of Cr, As, Cd and Se were 970, 49, 41, and 85 respectively. Analysis of rhizosphere samples indicated bact...
