Table 2 The results of regression analysis showing the relationships between the concentrations of minerals in plants and soil and antioxidant activities. The results were regression formulas with multiple correlation coefficients and multiple determination coefficients (R2). The level of significance was α ≤ 0.05

From: Antioxidant activities in relation to the transport of heavy metals from the soil to different parts of Betula pendula (Roth.)
