| Summary: | The iron content in gametophytes of Aulacomnium palustre. Climacium dendroides, Catharinea undulata is 5—10 times higher than in vascular plants. The manganese, zine and copper content is 2-3 times higher than in vascular plants. The content of these elements in sporophytes of Catharinea undulata is approximately the same as in vascular plants. The accumulation of the investigated metals takes place mainly in the protoplasts of the chlorophyll cells of gametophyte leaves. A weakly acid pH of the medium favors accumulation. No distinct difference was found between the Fe2O3 content in mosses and the soil. |
