TLDR
Manganese was accumulated from the soil environment, especially by the species Betula pendula, Fagus sylvatica, Sorbus aucuparia, Larix decidua, Vaccinium myrtilus, Rubus ideus,Rubus fruticosus and Digitalis purpurea, where the content of manganese in leaves exceeded 5000 mg kg-1.Abstract:
Kula, E., Hrdlicka, P., Hedbavný, J., Svec, P. 2012: Differentiated content of manganese in selected forest trees and plants in the undergrowth. – Beskydy, 5 (1): 19–26 The content of manganese in foliage and other parts of trees and undergrowth plants were monitored in the site with heavy level of manganese in soil. The difference between the species and also between parts of the same plant was confirmed. Manganese was accumulated from the soil environment, especially by the species Betula pendula, Fagus sylvatica, Sorbus aucuparia, Larix decidua, Vaccinium myrtilus, Rubus ideus, Rubus fruticosus and Digitalis purpurea, where the content of manganese in leaves exceeded 5000 mg kg-1.read more

Analyses of Mineral Content and Heavy Metal of Honey Samples from South and East Region of Turkey by Using ICP-MS
TL;DR: Zn and Cu were the most abundant trace element while Pb, Cd, Ni, and Cr were the lowest heavy metals in the honey samples surveyed, with regard to the concentrations of heavy metals suggested and influence of the botanical origin of element composition.

Content of metals and metabolites in honey originated from the vicinity of industrial town Košice (eastern Slovakia)
TL;DR: It is concluded that black locust (acacia) honey is the most suitable for daily use and that central European monofloral honeys contain lower amounts of toxic metals in comparison with other geographical regions.

Distribution of Some Atmospheric Heavy Metals in Lichen and Moss Samples Collected from Eket and Ibeno Local Government Areas of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria
TL;DR: In this paper, the atmospheric deposition of some heavy metals was investigated using lichen (Parmelia caperata) and moss (Polytrichum juniperinum, Calymperes erosum and Racopilum africanum) samples collected from two oil-producing host communities viz Eket and Ibeno Local Government Areas of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.

Effects of excess nitrogen on biogeochemistry of a temperate hardwood forest: Evidence of nutrient redistribution by a forest understory species
TL;DR: Examination of foliar nutrients of two herbaceous layer species in one N-treated watershed and two untreated reference watersheds at the Fernow Experimental Forest suggests that excess N deposition not only alters herb community composition and biogeochemical cycling of forest ecosystems, but can do so simultaneously and interactively.

Toxicity of naturally-contaminated manganese soil to selected crops.
TL;DR: Observed toxicity of Mn excess to common crops urges for selection of cultivars with higher tolerance, and the role of organic acids in Mn uptake in these species is not assumed.

Summary
Metal hyperaccumulator plants accumulate and detoxify extraordinarily high concentrations of metal ions in their shoots. Metal hyperaccumulation is a fascinating phenomenon, which has interested scientists for over a century. Hyperaccumulators constitute an exceptional biological material for understanding mechanisms regulating plant metal homeostasis as well as plant adaptation to extreme metallic environments. Our understanding of metal hyperaccumulation physiology has recently increased as a result of the development of molecular tools. This review presents key aspects of our current understanding of plant metal – in particular cadmium (Cd), nickel (Ni) and zinc (Zn) – hyperaccumulation.
