“…This study showed that both heavy metal concentrations and stocks in S. salsa at MM and LM presented temporal fluctuations, and similar results were drawn by previous studies (Duman et al 2007;Ramirez et al 2001). The temporal variations of heavy metals in plants were generally dependent on metabolic factor ("dilution effect" during growth), biological characteristics, and environmental factors (such as levels of metals in sediment and interactions between metals and other elements).…”

“…The effectiveness of a phytoremediation system depends on the selection of appropriate plants for the particular environment. Information on the accumulation properties of plants is very useful in choosing appropriate plants for marsh phytoremediation systems (Duman et al 2007). There are several attributes ascribed to the ideal candidate plant species for phytoremediation of metals, and the most important one is that plants should have sufficient capacity to tolerate the site conditions and accumulate multiple metal contaminants.…”

To understand the temporal variations and bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the coastal marshes, the concentrations of heavy metals (Cr, Ni, Pb, and Cu) in the two Suaeda salsa marshes [middle S. salsa marsh (MM) and low S. salsa marsh (LM)] of the Yellow River estuary were determined from May to November in 2008 by in situ sampling and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) analysis. Results showed that heavy metal concentrations in S. salsa of MM and LM were generally in the order of Cu>Cr>Pb>Ni, while those in sediments fell in the order of Cr>Ni>Cu>Pb. Heavy metal concentrations of S. salsa in MM and LM were different, and significant differences were observed in stems (F = 4.797, p= 0.046) and litters (F=6.799, p=0.026) for Ni. Litter was the main stock of heavy metals, and the allocations of Cr, Ni, and Pb reached 31. .64 % (in LM), respectively. The ratios of roots/ leaves (R/L) and roots/stems (R/S) for Cr and Ni in MM were mostly greater than 1, while those ratios in LM were mostly less than 1, indicating that Cr and Ni in S. salsa at LM had greater mobility compared with those at MM. Moreover, the [accumulation factor, AF] plant of Cr, Ni, Cu, and Pb in LM, especially [AF] root and [AF] stem of Cr and [AF] litter of Ni, was also higher than that in MM. These indicated that S. salsa grown in LM was more suitable for potential biomonitor or phytoremediation of Cr, Ni, Cu, and Pb if intertidal sediments were seriously contaminated with an increase of pollutant loading (especially heavy metals) in the Yellow River estuary. The use of biomonitor (S. salsa) living and growing in LM could yield valuable information not only on the presence of anthropogenic stressors, but, more importantly, on the adverse influence the stressors are having on the environment.

“…Wang et al (1997) also found that heavy metals are accumulated mainly in the roots with little translocation to the aboveground organs (Wang et al, 1997). As a good bioacumulator of chemical elements, (Duman et al, 2007;Bragato et al, 2009) Lesage et al, 2007;Vymazal et al, 2007). In this paper Al, As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, Sr and Zn levels are determined in the rhizome, stem and leaves of the common reed and sediment samples from the bed of the Tisza River.…”

Abstract. In this study the concentrations of metals were investigated in Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. eh Steud. 1841 and sediment samples from the bed of the River Tisza in Serbia. Al, As, B, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, Sr and Zn levels were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma -optical emission spectrometry. The sediment samples contained elevated concentrations of cadmium, chromium, copper, nickel and zinc. The increased concentration of these metals had no significant effect on wildlife of the river Tisza as the determined concentrations of the metals tested in the comon reed do not exceed the threshold of phytotoxicity. The research proved a strong positive correlation between the concentrations of metals in the sediment and all common reed organs (rhizome, stem and leave). Accumulated metals in the common reed are not distributed evenly, but there are target organs for bioaccumulation. Concentrations in belowground organs were usually higher than aboveground organs, and the general decreasing trend of element content was rhizome>leaves>stems.

“…high amounts of lignin and cellulose, which are known to adsorb HMs ions (Lenssen et al 1999). Moreover, it is a widespread species occurring in a range of ecosystems ranging from very clean to highly polluted areas (Duman et al 2007, Quan et al 2007). Based on previous data, we can also predict that this species has a great ability to adsorb heavy metals at low concentrations (Southichak et al 2006).…”

Cd and Pb concentrations were measured in water, sediment and plant organs collected from selective sites located along the Bogdanka river (Poznań, Poland) in the 2012 growing season. The aim of the investigations was to monitor changes in heavy metal (HM) concentrations in different media over the periods, as well as to evaluate potential of two littoral plants, Phragmites australis and Typha angustifolia, for phytoremediation under natural conditions. Investigations revealed differences in HM concentrations in water and sediments. Higher values were observed in sediments than in water. The decrease in concentrations of both HMs in sediments was noted in two of the three selected water reservoirs during growing seasons, which suggests the possibility of their adsorption and accumulation by aquatic plants. Both investigated plant species accumulated ample amount of Cd and Pb in underground and aboveground plant tissues, however T. angustifolia revealed higher Cd translocation potential than P. australis. The latter revealed higher Pb accumulation in two lakes. Moreover, the translocation ratio was usually higher in spring, especially for Pb, in both plant species. Increasing level of pollution load index in sediment along the Bogdanka watercourse indicates accumulation of measured HMs.
