The concentration of three metals, zinc, copper and chromium in roots, rhizomes, stems and leaves of Phragmites australis (common reed) and Scirpus maritimus, and in the corresponding sediment and water samples from Lia industrial area (Qazvin, Iran) were investigated to determine difference in distribution among plant organs. Data were collected at during 1-year period. Results showed that met...

in order to indicate the effect of duck's presence, anas platyrhynchos in paddy fields on rice (oryza sativa l.) yield, yield components and its effect on weed density, an experiment was carried out in baz ghaleh dezh village, located in sangar, guilan, iran in 2013. this experiment was performed based on factorial split-plot analysis conducted in a randomized complete block design (rcbd)....

Despite the well-recognized importance of plant traits for biogeomorphic development landscapes, our understanding remains limited how species-specific respond to and serve as drivers sedimentary dynamics within a landscape. By manipulating series laboratory experiments, using mesocosms flume, we examined differences in expansion strategy, i.e., clonal step-length laterally expanding tillers, b...

During four decades, the Ria de Aveiro was subjected to the loading of mercury from a chlor-alkali industry, resulting in the deposition of several tons of mercury in the sediments. The present study evaluates the impact of this disturbance and the recovery processes, temporally and spatially, by means of examining the richness of the species of salt marsh plants and mercury concentrations in s...
