Abstract:Toxic contaminants from intense industrial operations are entering wetlands, harming human health and biodiversity. Macrophytes serve as principal producers in aquatic environments including natural wetlands, providing shelter, food, and, most crucially, intricate relationships with the surrounding microbial assemblage for support and microorganisms attachment. Wetlands have been nature's kidneys, for filtering water. Recent research has examined macrophytes' phytoremediation abilities. With recent improvement… Show more
