Abstract
V originále
Calluna vulgaris was collected on the south slope of Lomnicky stit peak in Skalnata dolina valley (The High Tatra Mts) between 1987 1988 and repeat sampling took place in 2011, following reduction of emissions. Cu, Cd, Zn, Pb, Cr, Mn, Mo, Fe, S and F concentrations were determined in the samples. The results of ordination analysis and correlation analysis show a positive significant correlation of Pb, Fe and Cu (r=0.6320-0.9519) with rising altitude and negative significant correlation of S (r=0.7398). Due to reduced emissions the sulphur correlation with rising altitude became positive not significant in 2011. In 1987-1988, Mo, Mn, Cr, Cd and Zn did not show any significant correlations with altitude. In 2011, Fe, Mo, Cr, Zn and Mn also showed no significant correlation with altitude. Pb and Cu retained a positive significant correlation with rising altitude. There was a significant change correlated to sulphur. In 1987-1988 the highest sulphur concentrations had been recorded up to 1300 m a.s.l. (>109.8 mg.100g(-1)), whereas in 2011, the lowest sulphur concentrations were recorded at these altitudes (<87 mg.100g(-1)) due to reduction of emissions. In 2011, data on fluorine has not been recorded. Despite the reduction of emissions, the accumulated heavy metals remain in the ecosystem for a long time and acceptable concentrations are mostly exceeded, approximately 2-4 times, in the case of chromium up to 10 times.
