plant-based remediation (i.e. phytoremediation) is one of the most significant eco-sustainable techniques to cope with devastating consequences of pollutants. in the present study, the potential of a wetland macrophyt (i.e. potamogeton crispus ) for the phytoremediation of heavy metals (i.e. cu, cr, pb, as and cd) in the anzali wetland was evaluated. the results showed that p. crispus tends to ...

characteristics of diversity, abundance, distribution, and ecological status of aquatic macrophytes were observed in 2000 and 2007 on a circa 4.5 km long section of the turiec river using Kohler ́s method. In comparison to 2000, the total number of macrophytes in 2007 increased markedly (from 25 to 35), although only the numbers of amphiphytes and helophytes were changed substantially. the numbe...

A hydroponic experiment was performed to investigate the stress responses and biochemical adaptations of four submerged macrophytes, Potamogeton crispus, Myriophyllum spicatum, Egeria densa, and Potamogeton oxyphyllus, to the combined exposure of hypoxia and hydrogen sulfide (H2S, provided by NaHS). The investigated plants were subjected to a control, hypoxia, 0.1mM NaHS, 0.5 mM NaHS, 0.1 mM Na...

Potamogeton crispus is widely used in submerged macrophyte restoration in China. Turions are an important means of reproduction in this species. To compare the regeneration abilities of P. crispus turions in macrophyte- and phytoplankton-dominated lakes, we collected P. crispus turions from a macrophyte-dominated lake (Liangzi Lake) and a phytoplankton-dominated lake (Taihu Lake). Both lakes ar...

PURPOSE: A small-scale study was conducted to evaluate fluridone (1-methyl-3-phenyl-5-[3trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4(1H)-pyridinone) efficacy under varying levels of turbidity when controlling curlyleaf pondweed (Potamogeton crispus L.). There is no information on the effect of turbidity on fluridone efficacy against curlyleaf pondweed. It is unknown if turbidity impacts aqueous fluridone concentr...

The cadmium(Cd), copper(Cu) and lead(Pb) accumulation, as well as their relative content of different chemical forms in Sagittaria sagittifolia L. and Potamogeton crispus L. were determined. The results showed that both the plants had the ability to accumulate large amounts of Cd, Cu and Pb, and they absorbed metals in dose-dependent manners. The roots of S. sagittifolia appeared more sensitive...
