Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The excursion leads to habitats in in Burgenland and in Niederösterreich that are rich in heavy metals which occur either naturally in the soil or derive from man-made industrial activities. We discuss the tolerance of the heavy metal plants against heavy metal stress, and we discuss the strategies of tolerant, accumulating and hyper-accumulating plants to survive in heavy metal contaminated soil.
