Abstract
This study examined the accumulations and transfer of manganese into 11 wild plants from the mining soils of Gümüşköy, Turkey. The greatest silver resource in Turkey is found in the Gümüsköy mining area, which is situated roughly 25 kilometers to the west of Kütahya. ICP-MS was used to determine the Mn contents in soil and plant samples that were taken from the field. In the research area, the average Mn concentrations in the soil, roots, and shoots of wild plants were 1872, 1076, and 1048 ppm, respectively. Based on their ECS and ECR values, the plants were divided into three groups: the best plants, good plants, and candidate plants. While Glaucium flavum, Carduus nutans, Phlomis sp., Onosma sp., and Verbascum thapsus were selected as the best plants, Cynoglossum officinale, Anchusa arvensis were determined as good plants, and the others (Alyssum saxatile, Centaurea cyanus, Silene compacta, Isatis were determined as candidate plants. According to the current study, all of the best and good plants in the study region had a very high ability to remove Mn. As a result, these plants can be helpful in studies involving phytoremediation or remediation of Mn-polluted soil.
