PERSPECTIVES OF STUDYING OF SPECIES OF FAMILY CRASSULACEAE DC. IN KRYVYI RIH AREA WITH REFERENCE TO PHYTOREMEDIATION AND PHYTOMINING

To search plants-hyperaccumulators is one of the most promising directions of biological
methods for removing of toxic compounds from ecosystems. Screening acquires special importance
for species, which will be used to create phytocoenoses in large industrial centres of Ukraine. The
results of model experiments in Kryvyi Rih Botanical garden revealed some arboreal and fruticous
as well as ornamental plants, which are resistant to combined effect of heavy metal compounds;
among them – Sedum rupestre L.
