摘要: Ecological restoration and creation of salt marshes is needed to compensate for their degradation loss, but little known about halophytes as plant biotools in projects. The aim this study was evaluate Sarcocornia perennis spp. ,a common halophyte European, Southern Africa SouthAmerica saltmarshes,as a biotool. We analysed S. sedimentary habitat quantified its biomass production the concentration stock carbon, nitrogen nine metals (Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb Zn) tissues perennis, 28 months after plantation an innovative project Odiel Marshes. had accumu- lated above-ground values (ca. 1,600 g dry weight(DW)m −2 ) within range recorded previously naturalpopulations, root lower than mature natural populations. prairies accumulated 299 C m year −1 25 N . With exception transfer coefficient results document ability transplanted hyperaccumulate nearly ev- ery metal we measured. highest concentra- tions were ssp. roots (translocation 1.0 every met- al). Our provide strong support use transplants biotool marsh at low-medium elevations tidal gradient. Use oflivevegetationfor extractionmay enhance other functions including phytostabilization, reduced eutrophication negative effects climate change.
