Original abstract

Here we report on utilization of LIBS for investigation of copper and calcium distribution in different plant tissues and organs (pine-needles, leaves, twigs)of trees from remediation area of former copper mine in Smolník, Slovak Republic. The samples of birch (Betulapendula), poplar (Populustremula), spruce (Piceaabies) and pine (Pinussylvestris) were collected. For comparative laboratory experiments Piceaabies samples were chosen. Cross sections throughout annual terminal twigs cultivated in CuCl2 solution of different concentrations were prepared and analyzed by LIBS.

Czech abstract

Je demonstrováno použití LIBS pro sledování distribuce mědi a vápníku v různých rostlinných tkáních a orgánech (smrkové jehličí, listy, větvičky) různých stromů z remediační oblasti původního měděného dolu v obci Smolník, Slovenská Republika. Byl proveden sběr vzorků břízy (Betulapendula), topolu (Populustremula), smrku (Piceaabies) a borovice (Pinussylvestris). Pro srovnávací experimenty byly zvoleny vzorky smrku. Byly připraveny příčné řezy výhonků kultivovaných v roztocích CuCl2 o různé koncentraci a analyzovány metodou LIBS.
