Studying the effects of heavy metal on chlorophyll and sugar in one year-old seedlings organs of Acer velutinum specie

Pollution is one of the most important factors inhibiting growth in the environment; therefore the effects of zinc pollution were studied in Acer velutinum specie. Two years old seedlings of Acer velutinum specie were prepared from nursery, the concentrations of zero and one hundred and thirty mg per liter of zinc chloride solution were added to the soil of seedlings pots after calculating and after passing a three-month period of seedling growth, the plant organs were removed, then the amount of zinc concentration in the samples was determined and data were analyzed. The results of the analysis showed that the highest amount of accumulation on the stem, root and soil in treatment concentrations is 87.75, 65.68 and 24.78 mg per kg and accumulation of zinc in total chlorophyll and sugar in treatment concentrations is 4.61 and 0.6028 mg per g, respectively, and accordingly Acer velutinum specie is suitable for refinement of soils contaminated with zinc.
