Accumulation of Trace Metals by Mangrove Plants in Indian Sundarban Wetland: Prospects for Phytoremediation.
The work investigates on the potential of ten mangrove species for absorption, accumulation and partitioning of trace metal(loid)s in individual plant tissues (leaves, bark and root/pneumatophore) at two study sites of Indian Sundarban Wetland. The metal(loid) concentration in host sediments and their geochemical characteristics were also considered. Mangrove sediments showed unique potential i...

متن کاملScreening for the Total Phenolic Content of Selected Mangrove Species Collected from Sundarban Mangrove Forest
In this present research, acetone extracts of Avicennia alba and Aegialitis rotundifolia were investigated for the estimation of their total phenolic content. The amount of total phenol present was calculated by assaying it with Folin’s Ciocalteau Reagent and spectrophotometric analysis. Gallic acid was taken as the standard compound and the total phenolic content of each of the plant sample wa...
