Growth and physiological responses of submerged plant Vallisneria natans to water column ammonia nitrogen and sediment copper
Background. The decline of submerged plant populations due to high heavy metal (e.g., Cu) levels in sediments and ammonia nitrogen (ammonia-N) accumulation in the freshwater column has become a significant global problem. Previous studies have evaluated the effect of ammonia-N on submerged macrophyt...
