uptake of cadmium, copper, lead, and zinc from sediments by an aquatic macrophyte and by terrestrial arthropods in a freshwater wetland ecosystem. | the objective of this study was to investigate trace-metal [cadmium (cd), copper (cu), lead (pb), zinc (zn)] biotransference and biomagnification in terrestrial biota at different trophic levels (primary producer-top predator) of a wetland ecosystem. we investigated whether metal concentrations in the sediment are reflected in terrestrial arthropods and aquatic plants. we sampled the floating-leaved plant trapa japonica; its species-specific primary consumer, the leaf beetle galerucella nipponen ... | 2016 | 27306449 |
