The heavy metals, such as Zn, Cu, Mn and Fe were studied. Concentrations of zinc in tested soil are strongly and very strongly related to manganese and copper content (r = 0.57 do r = 0.98, p < 0.05). Moreover, the soil moistening has vital impact on copper content in the plants of the ground cover. It was also found that moss in comparison to other forest plants captures higher volume of zinc and copper. The content of the above mentioned metals in the plants of dry coniferous forests (Bs), fresh coniferous forests (Bśw) and humid coniferous forests (Bw) of the ground cover constitute the following decreasing series: Mn(438.1) > Fe(98.6) > Zn(35.2) > Cu(3.5).}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Prognosis Content of Heavy Metals in Soil and Herbaceous Plants in Selected Pine Forests in the Słowiński National Park}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/85773/PDF/10265-Volume38-Issue4-paper_04.pdf}, doi={10.2478/v10265-012-0038-0}, keywords={Organic horizons, mineral horizons, herbaceous plant, heavy metals, unpolluted area}, }
