Abstract: “This study investigated Hg uptake and transport from the soil to different plant parts by documenting the distribution and accumulation of Hg in the roots and shoots of 8 terrestrial plant species, all of which grew naturally in surface soils of the Gumuskoy Pb-Ag mining area, with continental climate.”

Keywords: Mercury uptake, wild plants, enrichment coefficient, translocation factor, phytoremediation, mining area
