Verbatim
e0“It was observed that S. molesta was capable of substantial heavy metal accumulation, with the highest accumulation recorded under EDDS amended and SDS amended treatments at elevated metal concentrations”
e3“The application of EDDS or SDS resulted in higher metal uptake compared to untreated controls, with BAF values reaching 3.8 for Cr, 4.2 for Ni, and 3.5 for Cd”
e4“Statistical analysis showed significant differences (p < 0.05) between treatments and control in metal bioavailability following amendment application, highlighting a dose-dependent tradeoff between metal uptake efficiency and plant health”

Other claims from this paper (10)
- Intervention effect EDDS and SDS amended treatments gave the highest heavy metal accumulation in Salvinia molesta at elevated metal concentrations.
- Intervention effect EDDS enhanced metal bioavailability and uptake in Salvinia molesta under moderate metal stress.
- Intervention effect EDDS maintained plant growth and physiological stability of Salvinia molesta under moderate metal stress.
- Intervention effect SDS treatments, particularly at higher concentrations, increased metal accumulation in Salvinia molesta.
- Intervention effect SDS treatments reduced biomass, chlorophyll content and protein levels of Salvinia molesta.
- Intervention effect EDDS or SDS gave higher metal uptake in Salvinia molesta than untreated controls.
- Observation Salvinia molesta reached a bioaccumulation factor of 3.8 for chromium.
- Observation Salvinia molesta reached a bioaccumulation factor of 4.2 for nickel.
- Observation Salvinia molesta reached a bioaccumulation factor of 3.5 for cadmium.
- Intervention effect Metal bioavailability differed significantly between amended treatments and control.
