The release of arsenic is a hidden risk during the in-situ decomposition of landed sargassum litter
Low molecular organic compounds and nutrients are released during the natural breakdown of plant tissues. However, if the organisms accumulate potentially toxic elements (PTE), these can be released into the environment; this is a latent risk during the decomposition of sargassum litter. This topic has been studied only in ex-situ conditions. We quantified the PTE concentration in fresh and in situ naturally decomposed sargassum litter. The results indicated that only arsenic demonstrates a high concentration in fresh biomass and litter across different stages of decomposition, exceeding 65 % initially, but decreasing to less than 20 % in the later stage concerning total As in each decomposition phase. These findings offer valuable insights into the release of As in leachates during natural decay and the residual As in partially decomposed sargassum litter.
期刊介绍:
Aquatic Botany offers a platform for papers relevant to a broad international readership on fundamental and applied aspects of marine and freshwater macroscopic plants in a context of ecology or environmental biology. This includes molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects of macroscopic aquatic plants as well as the classification, structure, function, dynamics and ecological interactions in plant-dominated aquatic communities and ecosystems. It is an outlet for papers dealing with research on the consequences of disturbance and stressors (e.g. environmental fluctuations and climate change, pollution, grazing and pathogens), use and management of aquatic plants (plant production and decomposition, commercial harvest, plant control) and the conservation of aquatic plant communities (breeding, transplantation and restoration). Specialized publications on certain rare taxa or papers on aquatic macroscopic plants from under-represented regions in the world can also find their place, subject to editor evaluation. Studies on fungi or microalgae will remain outside the scope of Aquatic Botany.
