Description
Summary:The content and distribution of chemical elements (S, Mn, Fe, Zn, Cu, Co, Cr, Ni, Pb and Cd) and phenolic compounds were determined in the above-ground and underground parts of bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L), grown on the background and technogenic polluted territories of the Southern Baikal region. Plants and soil were sampled at polluted site situated 0.5km-1.0km from Baikal Pulp and Paper Mill (East Siberia) and at a relatively clean site. It was shown that in background conditions Fe, Ni, Cr, Pb and Cd accumulated in roots of V. myrtillus, Mn and Zn accumulated in stems, S and Co in leaves and Cu in berries. The content of phenolic compounds in bilberries plants decreases in this order: leaves
