ABSTRACT / САЖЕТАК:

This study investigated the uptake of some heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, and Pb) by white clover (Trifolium repens L.) using a pot experiment. Plant and soil samples were prepared through wet digestion and analyzed by ICP-OES. The obtained results were discussed in terms of metal concentrations, translocation factors (TF), and enrichment factors (EF). Metal concentrations were higher in the roots compared to the shoots of the plant. White clover growing in Cd-contaminated soil absorbed significant amounts of Cd in both the roots and aboveground parts.
