Description:   The relationships between the degree of heavy metal contamination of soils and the metal tolerance and toxicity to plants were studied.  Populations of Agrostis gigantea growing on a roastbed were analyzed to determine copper and nickel tolerance and to investigate the mechanisms of metal toxicity to seed populations.  The growth of tolerant and non-tolerant Agrostis on contaminated soil was discussed.
