The current study provides an information on the combined effect of pollution with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in hydromorphic soils on the accumulation, growth, functional and morphological-anatomical changes of macrophyte plant, i.e., Phragmites australis Cav., as well as information about their bioindication status on the example of small rivers of the Azov basin. The territory of the lower reaches of the Kagalnik River is one of the small rivers of the Eastern Azov region was examined with different levels of PTEs contamination in soils, where the excess of the lithosphere clarkes and maximum permissible concentrations (MPC) for Mn, Cr, Zn, Pb, Cu, and Cd were found...
