Abstract
This chapter provides basic information on the use of higher plants for biomonitoring and bioremediation in the world. It contains a large amount of material of the authors’ own research on the possibility of using woody plants for biomonitoring and phytoremediation of environment anthropogenic pollution with heavy metals. The species of woody plants are revealed, which are recommended for use in biomonitoring of anthropogenic pollution of the environment in temperate latitudes (the study of biogeochemical parameters of leaves): Acer platanoides, Aesculus hippocastanum, Betula pendula, Cotoneaster lucidus, Populus nigra, and Salix fragilis. The following species are recommended for phytoremediation of soils from heavy metals: Betula pendula, Cotoneaster lucidus, Syringa vulgaris, Sorbus aucuparia, Philadelphus coronarius, and Larix sibirica. The species of woody plants—bioindicators of air and soil pollution by heavy metals—are revealed. The chapter also shows the significance of the statistical analysis for the detection of the main element pollutants of the environment.
