Abstract

X-ray fl uorescence analysis using synchrotron radiation (SR XRF) was applied to determine element composition in the aboveground part of Pentaphylloides fruticosa (bush cinquefoil) and Lonicera caerulea subsp. altaica (Pall.) Gladkova (blue honeysuckle), growing in a highly seismic zone. Th e total content of microelements in P. fruticosa is higher than the control one, and in L. сaerulea it is lower. It has been revealed that the ratio between separate elements undergo considerable changes. Th e Fe/Mn, Ca/Sr, Cu/Zn, and K/Rb ratios were observed to be violated for the plants of the anormalous zones. It is noticed that two kinds of a bush react to changes of geochemical and geophysical characteristics of environment diff erently.
