Abstract
In this study, our aim is to describe the heavy metal contents of Pseudevernia furfuracea lichen samples exposed to various polluted areas in the province of Ankara, Turkey. P. furfuracea lichen samples were collected from the Yenice Forest in Karabuk and were transported in bags to different sites in Ankara. The heavy metal concentrations of P. furfuracea were analyzed by an inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) technique. In addition, DNA alterations in the exposed lichen samples were described by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis, in order to reveal the pattern of genetic variations influenced by the various environmental pollutants. Genomic template stabilities (GTS) were calculated from the changes in the RAPD profiles and compared with the element content in the P. furfuracea lichen sample. The results obtained from chemical analysis were accumulated species of all the
期刊介绍:
Cessation. Ekoloji is an international journal that focuses on papers that report results from original research on all disciplines engaged in the field of environmental research. We welcome articles that cover the entire spectrum of environmental problems and environmental pollutants, whether chemical, biological or physical. Its coverage extends to all environmentally related issues: air and water pollution, solid waste, noise, recycling, natural resources, ecology and environmental protection. It includes articles on basic and applied environmental pollution research, including environmental engineering and environmental health. All types of pollution are covered, including atmospheric pollutants, detergents, fertilizers, industrial effluents, metals, mining wastes, oil, pesticides, plastics, radioactive materials and sewage. It also includes research papers on ecological and environmental issues such as climate change, biodiversity. The primary criteria for publication are scientific quality and ecological/environmental significance.
The journal will be read and contributed to by biologists, applied ecologists, environmental scientists, natural resource specialists, environmental engineers, environmental health specialists, agro-ecologists, veterinaries, agricultural engineers, landscape planners and designers. The journal welcomes full "research papers" and short "research notes", only in the English language.
