Abstract
Special emphasis in this paper was given to the multicriteria efficiency assessment of the phytoaccumulation and exclusion properties of the pine tree, as well as the Cu uptake from the soil by the root system, and further translocation to the needles, in the anthropogenically multi-medium polluted areas. Pine tree did not show the properties of the Cu hyperaccumulator plant under the environmental conditions of the study area, so pine could not be used in phytoextraction of copper from the soil. Pine tree from the sampling sites with the lowest pollution level had the properties of plant excluder of Cu. In the conditions of elevated Cu contents (>1500 mg/kg, the UI and R2 sampling sites) in the soil, pine showed the ability to efficiently translocate Cu to the above-ground parts, which could be the tolerance mechanism to high Cu concentrations in the environment, and especially in the soil. Such fate of Cu throught the soil-plant interface should be further tested in the specific physico-chemical conditions of the soil and Cu soil contents higher than the specified value.
