AB  - This ecophysiological research on the ash deposits from the “Nikola Tesla–A” thermal power station in Serbia covered 10 plant species (Tamarix gallica, Populus alba, Spiraea
van-hauttei, Ambrosia artemisifolia, Amorpha fruticosa, Eupatorium cannabinum, Crepis setosa, Epilobium collinum, Verbascum
phlomoides, and Cirsium arvense). This paper presents the
results of a water regime analysis, photosynthetic efficiency
and trace elements (B, Cu, Mn, Zn, Pb, and Cd) content in
vegetative plant parts. Water regime parameters indicate an
overall stability in plant-water relations. During the period of
summer drought, photosynthetic efficiency (Fv/Fm) was low,
ranging from 0.429 to 0.620 for all the species that were analyzed. An analysis of the tissue trace elements content
showed a lower trace metal concentration in the plants than in
the ash, indicating that heavy metals undergo major concentration during the combustion process and some are not
readily taken up by plants. The Zn and Pb concentrations in all
of the examined species were normal whereas Cu and Mn
concentrations were in the deficiency range. Boron concentrations in plant tissues were high, with some species even
showing levels of more than 100  g/g (Populus sp., Ambrosia
sp., Amorpha sp., and Cirsium sp.). The presence of Cd was
not detected. In general, it can be concluded from the results
of this research that biological recultivation should take into
account the existing ecological, vegetation, and floristic potential of an immediate environment that is abundant in life forms
and ecological types of plant species that can overgrow the
ash deposit relatively quickly. Selected species should be
adapted to toxic B concentrations with moderate demands in
terms of mineral elements (Cu and Mn)
