The article discusses the study done to evaluate the extent of soil contamination with selected heavy metals including Zinc(Zn), Lead(Pb) and Copper(Cu), and the commutability of these contaminants into rhizome, a continuously growing rootstocks of the plant, Carex brizoides L. in oak-hornbeam habitats of European region. The result shows clonal plants – Carex brizoides, play a major role in the transfer of certain heavy metals in forest habitat.
