摘要: The concentrations of arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, manganese, nickel and zinc in Zostera capricorni leaves rhizomes were analyzed order to document the accumulation metals Lake Illawarra seagrass tissues evaluate potential role Z. cycling within lake. Metal compared with porewater metal previously documented sediment determine if reflect ambient concentrations. and/or reflected manganese zinc. Lead not accumulated high most tissue samples from Illawarra, although differences lead some groups leaf samples. collected near Port Kembla industrial complex, adjacent former Tallawarra power station, significantly higher than lake entrance. majority was rhizomes; however, arsenic highest rhizomes. is likely play a significant possibly via uptake sediments, acropetal transferrance leaves, release into water column or detrital food chain litter.
