Abstract
Sea buckthorn is used in the world primarily for its high nutritional value and unique healing properties. It is a plant with a small climate and soil requirements. The study was conducted to determine changes mineral compounds in leaves of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L. ssp. rhamnoides), depending on the substrate type and the passage of time and assessment of the potential for sea buckthorn growth on saline and degraded soil. The determined the amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, zinc, sodium, molybdenum, chromium, lead, and cadmium. Shrubs of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L. ssp. rhamnoides), of which leaves were collected in June 2015, were located in four sites in Szczecin. The soils, on which sea buckthorn bushes grow are alkaline. The different sites of the growing shrubs of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) and the applied fertilization resulted in the differentiation of P, K, Ca, and Mg in leaves of the plant, but no change in N content was observed. Leaf samples collected a year earlier contained more N and P and less Ca and Mg. Leaves of sea buckthorn growing on the banks of the Odra river contained over ten times more Na, twice as much Fe, three times as much Mn as leaves of shrubs growing elsewhere. There was no difference in the amount of Mn in the leaves over the years, while those collected a year earlier contained more Fe. No presence of Mo, Pb, Cr and Cd was recorded in the leaves of sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.). Uptake of large amounts of Na, Ca, and Mg by sea buckthorn indicates the possibility of its growing on saline and degraded soils and the passage of time.
