Physiological responses of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) to salinity and copper nutrition in a nutrient solution
Salinity and copper deficiency are two factors that inhibit plant growth. This study was conducted to investigate individual and combined effects of salinity and copper nutrition on growth, leaf relative water content and nutrient uptake of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.).
A factorial arranged hydroponics experiment with three salinity levels of irrigation water (0, 50, and 100 mM NaCl), and three levels of copper (0, 0.05, and 0.1 μM, as CuSO 4) was performed. Salinity significantly decreased growth of rosemary while Cu nutrition showed positive effect on the crop growth. Leaf and root Na + and Clconcentration increased by salinity while reduced by copper nutrition. Root and leaf concentrations of Ca2+ and K+ were lower in the plants grown at 50 and 100 mM NaCl treatments in comparison with those grown at 0 mM NaCl treatment. Increasing Cu concentration in the nutrient solution increased leaf and root Ca 2+ and K+ concentration. The results indicated that copper might play an important role in increasing rosemary tolerance to salinity stress.

Content of macroelements in Avena sativa L., Brassica napus var. oleifera and Lupinus luteus L. after contamination of soil by copper and zinc
© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
The aim of the study was to determine the effect of copper and zinc contamination on macroelements content in plants. Research was located on two alkaline soils which in natural conditions were formed with loamy sand and sandy loam. The soil was contaminated with copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) at the following rates: 0, 150 and 450 mg/kg of soil.
Effects of Alluminum soil content, on earthworm’s bioaccumulation on organic fields
© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
The earthworm (Lumbricidae family) can be used in many ecotoxicological tests as a bio indicator and as a soil index in organic agriculture. Earthworms show the greatest rate of metals accumulation among all other species of terrestrial ecosystems. The main objective of our study was to study the accumulation of alluminum in the tissues of the earthworms from organic fields.
The influence of soil – plant factors on the uptake of Cs by two plant species
© Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (6/2009)
To investigate Cs uptake by two different plant species grown on soils with contrasting physicochemical properties, a greenhouse pot experiment was conducted. Soil in each pot contaminated with 40 ug g-1 of Cs in the form of CsCl by spraying the solution in layers. After an equilibration period of two months, the soil of each pot appropriately sowed with seeds of Lolium perenne and Trifolium pratense plants.

Rückstände von Plastik, welches heute aus dem Alltag nicht mehr wegzudenken ist, gelangen nicht nur in die Weltmeere, sondern auch in die Böden. Der „neue“ Schadstoff Mikroplastik ist dabei auch in Auenböden weit verbreitet und gefährdet zusätzlich die bedeutenden Funktionen von Auen und
ihren Böden.
