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

Abstract

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.
