Copper uptake and its effects on two riparian plant species, the native urtica dioica, and the invasive fallopia japonica

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

In European vineyards, for example, soil copper levels of up to 600 mg kg-1 have been observed, while corresponding uncontaminated sites ranged between 20 and 100 mg kg-1. In a randomized block design, the plants were grown in soils with increasing soil copper concentrations (0 to 2430 mg kg-1 soil). The authors further hypothesized, based on the known ability of F. japonica to accumulate heavy metals, that (ii) the invasive species exhibits higher copper concentrations and takes up copper more effectively in all plant parts compared to U. dioica.
