Abstract

Cultivation of crops in or close to contaminated sites may result in both growth inhibition and tissue accumulation of heavy metals, with resulting possible risks to humans or livestock health if these tissues are ingested. In this work, growth inhibition and accumulation of Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn for three Brassica crop species (B. oleracea L., B. carinata A. Br. and B. juncea (L.) Czern.) and the autochthonous Cu-accumulating species Hirschfeldia incana (L.) Lagreze-Fossat were studied, in two contaminated soils from the Murcia region of Spain and one from Valencia. over a 80-day period (40 days for H. incana) in pot experiments. Growth parameters indicated a tolerance index averaged for the two contaminated soils (relative to non-contaminated substrate) of the Brassica species in the order: B. juncea (mean value 97.6%) > B. carinata cv. 117 (74.2%) > B. carinata cv. 2920 (66.5%) approximate to B. oleracea (65.6%), with an average of 72% for H. incana. Above-ground tissue metal concentrations indicated a possible risk to human and livestock health from Cd and Pb for B. oleracea and H. incana. H. incana did not show a marked shoot accumulation of Cu, possibly due to inhibition of Cu uptake by the high soil levels of Zn and Pb. Its shoot tissue concentrations of Pb and Zn were related more closely to the total soil metal concentrations than to the DTPA-ex tractable, concentrations of these elements.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-03:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 94.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 94 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 1.
