“…accumulated greater concentrations of metals than shoots, indicating the bioavailability of metals and their limited mobility and translocation once inside the plant. This is consistent with many previous observations (Almeida et al 2011(Almeida et al , 2006Chandra et al 2008;Maddison et al 2005;Deng et al 2004;Mays and Edwards 2001;Sasmaz et al 2008). For example, the results from Sasmaz et al (2008) showed that the root tissues of Typha latifolia from a metal polluted stream were usually found to contain higher concentrations of most metals compared to the aboveground parts.…”

International audienceThe concentrations of heavy metals in water, sediments, soil, roots, and shoots of five aquatic macrophytes species (Oenanthe sp., Juncus sp., Typha sp., Callitriche sp.1, and Callitriche sp.2) collected from a detention pond receiving stormwater runoff coming from a highway were measured to ascertain whether plants organs are characterized by differential accumulations and to evaluate the potential of the plant species as bioindicators of heavy metal pollution in urban stormwater runoff. Heavy metals considered for water and sediment analysis were Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, and As. Heavy metals considered for plant and soil analysis were Cd, Ni, and Zn. The metal concentrations in water, sediments, plants, and corresponding soil showed that the studied site is contaminated by heavy metals, probably due to the road traffic. Results also showed that plant roots had higher metal content than aboveground tissues. The floating plants displayed higher metal accumulation than the three other rooted plants. Heavy metal concentrations measured in the organs of the rooted plants increased when metal concentrations measured in the soil increased. The highest metal bioconcentration factors (BCF) were obtained for cadmium and nickel accumulation by Typha sp. (BCF = 1.3 and 0.8, respectively) and zinc accumulation by Juncus sp. (BCF = 4.8). Our results underline the potential use of such plant species for heavy metal biomonitoring in water, sediments, and soil

“…In that sense, several studies have been undertaken in different coastal world areas, in order to evaluate the PCBs, PAHs and heavy metal contamination degree of fauna, flora and substrata. For example, in Portugal mainland, estuarine sediments of Tejo River (Reboredo, 1981;Reboreda and Caçador, 2007), Sado River (Reboredo and Ribeiro, 1984;Reboredo, 1988) Ria Formosa Lagoon (Padinha et al, 2000) Ria de Aveiro Lagoon (Ramalhosa et al, 2005) and Lima River (Almeida et al, 2011), were monitored in terms of their metal content.…”

Coastal dunes constitute complex interface ecosystems between the land and sea, providing important ecological and socio-economic services like coastal protection, recreation, regulation, food supply and biodiversity. They are characterized by high ecological diversity and also by extremely specialized and endemic species. Coastal areas, because of their position between land and sea, are attractive for many human activities. Unfortunately coastal systems have had a long history of exploitation and mismanagement.

RESUMENManganeso es un metal traza cuyos efectos a nivel de semilla no han sido estudiados en profundidad. En el humedal de Carrizal Bajo se han documentado altos niveles de Mn, como aporte combinado de las actividades antrópicas y de la roca madre. En este estudio se evalua experimentalmente el efecto de distintos tratamientos de Mn (0,0; 0,001; 0,1 y 10,0 ppm) sobre la germinación de Triglochin striata y Cotula coronopifolia, dos macrófitas presentes en el humedal. Nuestros resultados mostraron que la germinación de Cotula disminuyó de 60 a 10 % en los tratamientos con Mn, mientras que la germinación de Triglochin se mantuvo en torno al 16 %, sin mostrar diferencias significativas entre los tratamientos. Estos antecedentes sugieren que Mn puede afectar diferencialmente la germinación de las especies del humedal.
