Halophytic plants are characterized by their ability to survive, even thrive, at concentrations
of sodium and chloride ions that would be toxic to most crop species. Given the diminishing …

This study aims to determine the drivers of root decomposition and its role in carbon (C)
budgets in mangroves and saltmarsh. We review the patterns of root decomposition, and its …

The permanent presence of microplastics in the marine environment is considered a global
threat to several marine animals. Heavy metals and microplastics are typically included in …

Applications of nanoparticles and plants for efficient restoration of heavy metal-polluted
water and soil are an emerging approach and need to be explored. Hydroponic study was …

This study analyzed the concentrations and distributions of Al, As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Hg, Mn, Ni, Pb
and Zn in three different cattail species growing spontaneously in a natural wetland subject …

This study aimed to shed further light on the capacity of macrophytes to translocate,
accumulate and bioindicate the levels of trace elements present in contaminated water and …

Heavy metals are among the major pollutants from anthropogenic inputs that reach
mangrove ecosystem by urban and agricultural runoff, industrial effluents, boating, mining …

Salt marshes are highly productive and valuable coastal ecosystems that act as filters for
nutrients and pollutants at the land-sea interface. The salt marshes of the mid-Atlantic United …

The distribution and sources of yttrium and rare-earth elements (YREE) in surface sediments
were studied on 78 samples collected in the Tagus estuary (SW Portugal, SW Europe) …

Increasing soil salinisation represents a serious threat to food security, and therefore the
exploitation of high-yielding halophytes, such as Salicornia and Sarcocornia, needs to be …
