It was shown that in seedling stage all of three species (common ice plant, rape and vica) were characterized as relatively high tolerant plants when incubated under excess copper. All of investigated species could be recommended as highly effective phytoremediators for territories with medium to high level of toxic metals.phytoremediationheavy metalscoppertolerance of plantsфиторемедиациятяжелые металлымедьустойчивость растений
