Pollution by heavy metals in the environment is a worldwide problem. The aim of the research study was to record the effect of lead (Pb) and iron (Fe) elements on early seedling growth of Albizia lebbeck L. (Benth.) and Eucalyptus globulus Labill. The obtained results showed that higher level of lead (Pb) and iron (Fe) elements treatment present in the substrate had wide a spectrum of toxicity activity against seedlings growth performance of A. lebbeck and E. globulus as compared to control in lab conditions. Statistically analyzed data showed that seedling growth of A. lebbeck and E. globulus were reduced significantly (p
