About author:Dr. José Antonio Rodríguez Martín is a biologist （UAM） who obtained his Ph.D in Science from the School of Forest Engineering （UPM） in 2001. Since 2008， he has been a civil servant of the Spanish government and currently serves as senior scientist at the Department of the Environment of the National Institute for Agricultural and Food Research and Technology （INIA-CSIC）. His research focuses on soil contamination， particularly the occurrence， distribution， and environmental behavior of heavy metals in terrestrial ecosystems. A central aspect of his work is the study of plant-soil interactions and the use of vegetation as bioindicators of environmental pollution across different environments， including urban， mining， and arid systems. He also applies geostatistical and spatial analysis techniques to assess the impact of land use and anthropogenic activities on soil quality. Dr. Rodríguez Martín has authored more than 120 scientific publications in the international peer-reviewed journals （e.g.， Nature， Environmental Pollution， Soil BiologyandBiochemistry） and has extensive experience in international research projects， peer review， and scientific dissemination.Corresponding email： rmartin@inia.csic.es.

摘要/Abstract

摘要：

植被作为环境污染诊断工具已从描述性实践中不断发展和应用。植物长期被用作环境污染（尤其是重金属污染）的生物指示物。尽管分析技术的进步显著提升了我们对植物组织中微量元素的定量能力，但解析这些数据仍面临重大挑战。本文观点认为，植物不应被视为环境污染的被动记录者，而应理解为基于物种特异性生理机制和环境条件整合、转化并重新分配金属的动态系统。

关键词: 生物指示物, 重金属污染, 环境污染, 植物与土壤互作

Abstract:

The use of vegetation as a diagnostic tool for environmental contamination has evolved from descriptive practices. Plants have long been used as bioindicators of environmental contamination， particularly heavy metals. While analytical advances have greatly improved our ability to quantify trace elements in plant tissues， interpreting these data remains a critical challenge. This viewpoint argued that plants should not be considered as passive recorders of environmental pollution， but as dynamic systems that integrate， transform， and redistribute metals according to species-specific physiology and environmental conditions.

Key words: bioindicator, heavy metal pollution, environmental pollution, plant and soil interactions
