Monitoring the negative impacts of trace metals is crucial to assess health and stability ecosystems. In salt marshes, halophyte plants were reported as possible bioaccumulators these elements. The aim this work was explore bioaccumulation potential Bolboschoenus maritimus a tool for monitoring presence in coastal environments. collected from brackish water lagoon, lead, cadmium, nickel seasonally evaluated distinct parts plants, sediment samples. Lead metal with highest concentration...
