Abstract excerpt
Alnus glutinosa L. (black alder) is a promising phytoremediation candidate due to its N fixation, high biomass, and adaptability, yet responses to As, Cd, and Pb remain poorly understood. Three alder genotypes were exposed to increasing metal(loid) concentrations under controlled conditions hydroponically, evaluating growth, metal(loid) and elemental accumulation, antioxidant enzymes and secondary metabolites....
