Multi-laboratory chemical characterization of ecological samples
(Springer-Verlag, 1989) Jayasekera, R.; Markert, B.
The influence of high concentrations of sodium (Na), chlorine (Cl) and bromine (Br) on the analytical results obtained by means of several modern analytical methods by different laboratories was investigated. The results obtained for the halophytic plants, Aster tripolium and Rhizophora mangle, were compared with that of NBS-Citrus leaves (NBS 1572). With a few outliers no considerable “interference effects” from Na, Cl and Br on the results of other elements were found.
Elemental composition of different plant species
(Journal of Plant Nutrition, 1987) Markert, B.; Jayasekera, R.
Element concentrations in leaves and needles of different plant species (Rhizophora mangle, Astertri‐polium, Vaccinium vitis—idaea and Pinus sylvestris) are presented in the form of element concentration cadasters with reference to their abundance. The concentration cadasters of the two halophytes (Rhizophoramangle and Aster tripolium) show that the elements Na, Cl, Br and Sr occur at high concentrations in halophytes. The changes in chemical abundances of halophytes can be attributed to the extreme habitat conditions, i. e. physiological drought, under which they grow. Certain elements are preferentially accumulated in specific plants, e. g. Mn in Vaccinium vitis‐idaea.
