Accumulation and Tolerance of Mangroves to Heavy Metals: a Review
2017
Purpose of review
Mangroves are under increasing heavy metal (HM) pollution pressure from human activities because of the rapid industrialization and urbanization in coastal areas. Field and laboratory experiments showed that the tolerance of mangrove plants to HM stress is normally a mixture of metal avoidance and scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS). In this review, related studies during the past few decades on the accumulation and tolerance of mangrove to HMs have been synthesized.
