abstract = "Anacamptis morio occurs on a wide range of habitats showing distinct tolerance to heterogeneous
edaphic conditions. Assessment of Li, B, Ba, and Sr phytoavailability in the soils of western
Serbia, and metal(oid) uptake by A. morio provided new information on less studied elements and
revealed their relatively high mobility in the soil-orchid system. Although previous studies have
found that A. morio prefers neutral and calcareous soils, our study shows that it also inhabits ultramafic
and siliceous sites characterized by pronounced differences in soil chemical properties. BCR
sequential extraction identified up to 60% of Li and more than 80% of Ba and Sr content as potentially
phytoavailable. The total element analyses using ICP-OES showed that B, Ba and Sr predominantly
accumulated in the roots, but did not exceed thresholds considered potentially phytotoxic.
It revealed the exclusion strategy of A. morio which enables it to tolerate differences in elemental
composition of contrasting bedrock types. The highest Li concentrations were detected in leaves,
pointing to significant Li mobility within the plant. The contents of Li and Ca were highly positively
correlated, which may result from Li physicochemical properties that are similar to those of alkali
metals, allowing it to share the same transport carriers. Thus, Li could be easily transported to the
aboveground plant parts and accumulated mainly in the organs with the highest Ca content,
which was confirmed in this study. Bioconcentration factors >1 were detected only for B and Sr in
all plants analyzed, irrespective of the bedrock type.",
