Temporal Variability of Gallium in Natural Plants

The aim of the research was to study distribution gallium (Ga) in rhizosphere soil and plants growing under natural conditions uncontaminated sites, with an emphasis on temporal fluctuations Ga concentration plants. For this purpose, two field experiments were conducted St. Petersburg, Russia, 2019 2020, at sites. Three widespread grasses (couch grass, plantain, dandelion) chosen for experiments. ICP–MS analytical technique applied determination Ga. All capable accumulating Ga, but uptake different plant species, although grew same conditions. It can be assumed that one main reasons such differences belonging botanical classes, where biochemical processes proceed differently. varied daytime. daily species often completely did not resemble soil. These short-term variations due should considered when collecting samples.
