Concentrations and biomagnification of multiple metals/metalloids are higher in rice than in sugarcane agroecosystems of southern China
Published 2023-06-01“…When quantitatively rating the patterns of biomagnification using post-hoc multiple comparisons among species’ bioaccumulation factors (BAFs), rice paddies had stronger patterns of biomagnification (3 strong relationships [e.g., all insectivores had higher or as high BAFs compared to all other species], 7 medium relationships [e.g., one of the insectivores had the highest BAFs, but another had an intermediary value, similar to an herbivore], 6 weak [e.g., one insectivore had the highest BAFs, but the other was as low as a primary producer], and 3 no relationships [e.g., no significant differences among species in BAFs]) than sugarcane ecosystems (1 strong, 2 medium, 8 weak, and 9 no relationships; Repeated measures t-test, P-value = 0.0023) across 6 metals (Cr, Cd, Cu, Hg, Pb, Zn). …”
