dc.description.abstractThis study assessed total concentrations of cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn) in serpentine soils and 10 plant species growing naturally in serpentine soils in Kizildag National Park (Isparta). The paper discusses the transfer of metals from serpentine soils to plants (MTF). The soils were low concentrations in the nutrients of K, P and Ca, but high in Mg, especially in the slopping sides. The serpentine soils contain low Ca/Mg quotient (0.162-0.378) on the sloping areas where water erosion occurred. The soil samples contain high Cu, Zn, Ca/Mg quotients (2.163-2.211) and organic matter, but low Co, Cr and Fe in the less inclined areas. The mean total heavy metal contents of the soil samples decreased in the order of Fe>Ni>Mn>Cr>Zn>Co>Cu>Mo. Among the plants, Ni concentrations were highest in Noccaea camlikensis (4472 mg/kg) and Alyssum peltarioides (3209 mg/kg) from Brassicaceae family. There was a correlation between Ca and Ni contents of these endemic Ni hyperaccumulators. A. peltarioides and N. camlikensis can be used for phytomining of Ni throughout serpentine soils. In addition, after harvesting these plants can be used as compost for re mediation of Ni deficient topsoils in the agricultural area.en_US
