Abstract/Contents: | Aspects of the decomposition of metal-tolerant vegetation (Agrostis tenuis) growing on (a) mine waste containing high concentrations of Pb and Zn were studied and compared with those on (b) an adjacent uncontaminated site. Pb contents in plant shoots and roots were 13489 and 18522 mu g/g air-dried material on (a) and 63.2 and 33.6 mu g on (b), resp. Zn contents were 383 and 582 mu g on (a) and 41 and 55 mu g on (b). Retarded decomposition of vegetation on (a) as compared with that on (b) was indicated by a greater accumulation of litter, less humus formation, reduced soil urease activity and smaller microbial and microfaunal populations. |
