### Analysis of the Correlation of Major Element Content in the Plant-Soil System  
The highest correlations were found between the magnesium (Mg) content in leaves and the phosphorus (P) content in soil (Mg-P = 0.8662). This strong positive correlation suggests that an increase in phosphorus content in the soil is strongly associated with \begin{table}

Table 3: The calculated geo-accumulation index (I-geo), enrichment factor, and contamination factor of major elements within examined soils. an increase in magnesium content in the leaves. A strong positive correlation was also observed between sulfur (S) and iron (Fe) (S-Fe = 0.7768) as well as sulfur (S) and potassium (K) (S-K = 0.7351) in the leaves and soil. Additionally, a high positive correlation was found between aluminum (Al) and iron (Fe) (Al-Fe = 0.6885), magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) (Mg-Ca = 0.6278), and magnesium (Mg) and phosphorus (P) (Mg-P = 0.6352) in the rhizomes and soil. This indicates a relationship between the content of these elements in both the soil and rhizomes of _Ch. majus_. Similar correlations were found in the stems and soil for sulfur (S) and aluminum (Al) (S-Al = 0.6556) as well as sulfur (S) and sodium (Na) (S-Na = 0.6987). Other relationships are presented in Table 5.  
The smallest correlations were found between phosphorus (P) and iron (Fe) (P-Fe = 0.0735) in the leaves and soil. The correlation of 0.0649 between phosphorus and iron indicates a lack of a significant relationship between iron content in the soil and phosphorus content in the rhizomes. Practically no correlation was observed between sulfur (S) and phosphorus (P) (S-P = 0.0035) regarding phosphorus content in the soil and sulfur content in the leaves (Table 5).
