▪ Abstract The study of natural plant populations has provided some of the strongest and
most convincing cases of the operation of natural selection currently known, partly because …

Abstract The effects of Cd, Cu, Zn, and Pb on soil microorganisms and microbially mediated
soil processes are reviewed. The emphasis is placed on temperate forest soils. The …

Heavy metals are important environmental pollutants and their toxicity is a problem of
increasing significance for ecological, evolutionary, nutritional, and environmental reasons …

Interactions of toxic metals with fungi have long been of importance since metal toxicity still
is the basis of many fungicidal preparations while in an environmental context, accelerating …

Plants growing in metal-enriched substrates take up metals to varying degrees in response
to external and internal factors. The tacit assumption that a plant can thus act as an …

PREAMBLE A check‐list of mycorrhiza in the British Flora was published in February 1987
as a supplement to Vol. 105, No. 2 of this journal. As stated in the Editorial Note in Vol. 105 …

This paper highlights major developments in the field of heavy metal tolerance in plants over
the last 15 years. Advances in experimental and theoretical aspects are considered. The …

High concentrations of heavy metals in soil have an adverse effect on micro-organisms and
microbial processes. Among soil microorganisms, mycorrhizal fungi are the only ones …

Heavy metal pollution of soil is a significant environmental problem and has its negative
impact on human health and agriculture. Rhizosphere, as an important interface of soil and …

ABSTRACT A plant growth-promoting bacterium, Kluyvera ascorbata SUD165, that
contained high levels of heavy metals was isolated from soil collected near Sudbury …
