Abstract

For the first time, concentrations of chemical elements contained in the vegetative and generative organs of the nitrebush (Nitraria schoberi), a species of flowering plant in the family Nitrariaceae, widely spread in the Southern Aralkum, on the Ustyurt plateau and Vozrozhdeniya Island were determined. In the process of the study, concentrations of 32 chemical elements found in the samples of soil the plant grows on, and those of 37 elements found in the underground organs of the plant (roots) and the above-ground ones (leaves and fruits) were determined. Significant differences in the concentrations of macro- and microelements contained in the underground organs of Nitraria schoberi and those in the above-ground organs of the plant widely spread in the arid areas of the Aral Sea were demonstrated. Some elements were found in high concentrations. Due to their high tolerance to the arid conditions, the Nitraria schoberi L. species were found demanded in the soil amendment to be used for reduction of the soil salinization degree, and as the potent sand stabilizers.
