Coastal wetlands are ecosystems lying between land and ocean and are subject to inputs of
heavy metals (HMs) from terrestrial, oceanic and atmospheric sources. Although the study …

Seaweeds are rich in macronutrients, micronutrients, and bioactive components and have
great potential as sustainable resources in terms of both production and consumption of a …

This study aimed to shed further light on the capacity of macrophytes to translocate,
accumulate and bioindicate the levels of trace elements present in contaminated water and …

Industrialization, natural processes, and urbanization have potentially accelerated the pace
and the level of heavy metals (HMs) in soil and underground water. These HMs may be …

Being a resourceful ecosystem, mangrove estuaries have always been subjected to trace
elements (TEs) contamination, and therefore, the biomonitoring approach holds immense …

Coastal regions are subjected to degradation due to anthropogenic pollution. Effluents
loaded with variable concentrations of heavy metal, persistent organic pollutant, as well as …

Blue carbon ecosystems (BCEs), located at the land-sea interface, provide critical ecological
services including the buffering of anthropogenic pollutants. Understanding the interactions …

Pollution by heavy metals is one of the most serious issues in the world, and the principal
