Abstract:Anthropogenic inputs of heavy metals and metalloids pose a risk to wetland ecosystems due to their long retention time in sediment, high toxicity at low concentrations, and ability to biomagnify in the food chain. Our study involved an extensive monitoring effort for seven heavy metals (cadmium:Cd, chromium:Cr, copper:Cu, mercury:Hg, nickel:Ni, lead:Pb, zinc:Zn) and one metalloid (arsenic:As) in sediment, roots of the invasive hybrid cattail (Typha x glauca), and livers from muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) at Ho… Show more
