Medico-Ecological Approaches to Plant Research

The primary task of environmental protection is to ensure the safety of territories and promote their sustainable development.At the same time, analysing the current ecological situation in a specific area, including identifying spatio-temporal changes within its boundaries, is a complex undertaking that requires an integrated approach.This article proposes methods that use annual and perennial plants as natural targets for analysing the accumulation and migration of potentially toxic elements in the soil.In this sense, studying plant ecotypes already adapted to specific growing conditions is of significant practical importance.To gain a complete understanding of current circumstances, the study compared the indicators of geoecological indices related to the accumulation and migration of potentially toxic elements in the soil with the antioxidant potential of plants and their bioaccumulate capacity is important to emphasise, as the accumulation of potentially toxic elements in plants is most influenced by their genotype.Primary and secondary metabolic processes also play a role in the process of peroxidation in lipidcontaining structures that are sensitive to pH, temperature, and other physicochemical parameters.Therefore, the acquisition of quantitative and qualitative data on the movement of potentially toxic elements in the soil-plant system is essential for a reliable assessment of the degree of environmental pollution.
