TLDR
Based on 30-year monitoring of Ni2 and Cu2+ concentrations in the organic horizon of Albic Rustic Podzols and the foliage of six plant species, a dynamic trend in the level of heavy metal accumulation in the components of forest ecosystems of the Kola Peninsula has been revealed against the background of five to eightfold reduction of pollutant emissions as mentioned in this paper.Abstract:
Based on 30-year monitoring of Ni2+ and Cu2+ concentrations in the organic horizon of Albic Rustic Podzols and the foliage of six plant species, a dynamic trend in the level of heavy metal accumulation in the components of forest ecosystems of the Kola Peninsula has been revealed against the background of five- to eightfold reduction of pollutant emissions. The direction of the trend has been found to differ: the size of polluted area and pollution level increase with time, while the concentrations of heavy metals in plants decrease due to reduction in their input from the polluted air.read more

Current state and dynamics of heavy metal soil pollution in Russian Federation-A review.
TL;DR: It was showed that the average content of mobile species of Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Ni, Cr and Hg are below the permissible limits and tend to decrease, and the agricultural soils with the HM concentrations above the critical limits constitute a few percent of the total area of the surveyed arable lands.

Long-term dynamics of heavy metal concentrations in the food and liver of bank voles ( Myodes glareolus ) in the period of reduction of emissions from a copper smelter
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the long-term changes in the contents of heavy metals (Cu, Zn, Cd, Рb) in the food and liver of bank voles inhabiting areas exposed to pollution from the Middle Ural Copper Smelter (MUCS) during the period of reduction of its emissions.

V. Sh. Barkan,I. V. Lyanguzova +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the concentrations of nickel and copper were determined in mosses Hylocomium splendens and Pleurozium schreberi sampled in 1991 and 2011 at the same sites in the Lapland State Biosphere Reserve located in the impact area of atmospheric emissions from the Severonickel Smelter Combine (Monchegorsk, Murmansk Region, Russia).

Physiological role of nickel and its toxic effects on higher plants
TL;DR: The focus of the review is on the specific aspects of nickel effect on plants as compared to other heavy metals; their specificity is derived from different physical and chemical properties.

Problems and prospects concerning the phytoremediation of heavy metal polluted soils: A review
TL;DR: In this article, the current state, problems, and prospects of phymoremediation of heavy metal polluted soils are analyzed and the main attention is paid to the phytoextraction and phytostabilization as the most widespread and alternative methods of soil phytoremediation.

Nickel hyperaccumulation by Thlaspi montanum var. montanum (Brassicaceae): a constitutive trait.
Robert S. Boyd,Scott N. Martens +1 more
TL;DR: The ability to hyperaccumulate Ni has adaptive value to populations growing on non- serpentine soil, and this adaptive value may be a consequence of metal-based plant defense against herbivores/pathogens, metal- based interference against neighboring plant species, or an efficient nutrient scavenging system.
