| Description/Abstract | The influence of rain-worms (lumbricidae) and click beetle (elateridae) larva on corn and Windsor bean (vicia faba). uptake of Ca/sup 45/ and Sr/sup 90/ was investigated. The activity of contaminated ground for corn was 0.1 mu c/g of Ca/sup 45/ and 0.0064 mu c/g of Sr/sup 90/ and for beans 0.05 mu c/g Ca/sup 45/ and 0.01 mu c/g Sr/sup 90/. Tabulated results indicate increased concentrations of Ca/sup 45/ and Sr/sup 90/ in corn leaves in the presence of elateridae and in most cases in the presence of the lumbricidae, However, the influence of elateridae is considerably stronger. The presence of elateridae and lumbricidae depresses the uptake of Sr/sup 90/ and Ca/sup 45/ by corn roots. In contrast, the influence of lumbricidae on the uptake of isotopes by bean leaves is much stronger than the elateridae, while lumbricidae exhibits stronger depressive effects on Ca/sup 45/ and Sr/sup 90/ uptake by bean roots. The lumbricidae exert a stronger influence on plants' assimilation of radioactive isotopes. (R.V.J.) |
