few did as accumulators, and most of them were excluder species. These translocation and accumulation
capabilities are limited by increased Pb content in soils
so those species behave as excluder in polluted soils
Whereby, these species can be considered as good candidates for phytostabilization, mainly
S. halepense, due to the high tolerance demonstrated in this study, preventing a metal transfer to the food web.
This is an important result; as it was pointed
recognition of plant species that tolerate high concentration of toxic elements is essential to phytostabilize them.
