Acid mine drainage is mining waste that contains a lot of sulfate and heavy metals such as Fe Mn which can cause environmental damage pollute the ecosystem, therefore it needs to be managed. One way manage acid with phytoremediation techniques using Purun tikus (Eleocharis dulcis). The ability accumulate known by calculating bio-concentration factor (BCF) tranclocation (TF). This study a...

Three enclosures (10 x 10 x 1.5-1.3 m in depth) were set beside Dianch Lake, Kunming, People's Republic of China, for the period from July 28 to August 26, 2002. The enclosures were filled with cyanobacterial (Microcystis aeruginosa) water bloom-containing lake water. Lake sediment that contained macrophytes and water chestnut seeds was spread over the entire bottom of each enclosure. Initially...

BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTION The Chinese water chestnut, Eleocharis dulcis ((Burm. f.) Henschel), is a member of the sedge family (Cyperaceae). It is a true aquatic that can only grow in water. The plant has a rush-like appearance with 4-6 tubular stems that are upright and about 3 to 4 feet tall. The plant produces 1 to 2-inch brown corms on rhizomes at its base under the soil. The corms have w...

Cyperaceae is an angiosperm family with the greatest diversity of species with Kranz anatomy. Four different types of Kranz anatomy (chlorocyperoid, eleocharoid, fimbristyloid and rhynchosporoid) have been described for this angiosperm family, and the occurrence and structural characteristics of these types are important to trace evolutionary hypotheses. The purpose of this study was to examine...

[1] The movement of particulate matter within wetland surface waters affects nutrient cycling, contaminant mobility, and the evolution of the wetland landscape. Despite the importance of particle transport in influencing wetland form and function, there are few data sets that illuminate, in a quantitative way, the transport behavior of particulate matter within surface waters containing emergen...

The present article describes the heavy metal content (Ni, Pb, Cd) in top plant phytomass: blue marsh bog (Eleocharis palustris (L.) Roem. Schult.), furcular Anemonidium (Anemonidium dichotomum Holub), bayonet rush (Juncus filiformis L.), vetchling (Lathyrus carex acuta (Carex reed canary grass (Phalaroides arundinacea clump speedwell (Veronica longifolia silverweed cinquefoil (Potentilla anser...
