Ma. Kahkonen et T. Kairesalo, THE EFFECTS OF NICKEL ON THE NUTRIENT FLUXES AND ON THE GROWTH OF ELODEA-CANADENSIS, Chemosphere (Oxford), 37(8), 1998, pp. 1521-1530
In the through-flow method was measured the effect of Ni exposure on t
he net uptake and/or release of phosphorus and nitrogen and on the gro
wth of submerged macrophyte, Elodea canadensis Michx. These results sh
owed that Ni clearly inhibited the nutrient metabolism of Elodea at al
l exposure levels, from 70 up to 1700 mu mol dm(-3). The nutrient meta
bolism was more sensitive and earlier response than the growth of the
test plants. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights re
