Heavy metals uptake and accumulation in below-and above-ground plant organs of Festuca species University of Belgrade, Faculty of Agriculture Festuca arundinacea, Festuca rubra, phytoremediation, heavy metals, excretors ABSTRACT After ore mining, large amounts of waste material-tailings-remain on the land around the mine, directly affecting the surrounding ecosystems. The waste contains increased amounts of heavy metals and remains on the soil surface in the form of small particles. These particles are dispersed over long distances by wind erosion, and can also enter nearby waterways and food chains through flux processes, directly affecting human and animal health. eng Brajević, Snežana Dželetović, Željko Andrejić, Gordana Aleksić, Uroš Milanović, Nikola Simić, Aleksandar info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceProceedings 2023 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode https://phaidrabg.bg.ac.rs/o:31198 Innovations in Field and Vegetable Crops Production-Book of Abstracts-11th Symposium with international participation application/pdf 2006230 bytes
