Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Elutriates from native vegetation caused greater toxicity to Daphnia magna than elutriates from exotic vegetation.
- Intervention effect Elutriates from native vegetation caused greater toxicity to Aliivibrio fischeri than elutriates from exotic vegetation.
- Intervention effect Elutriates from exotic vegetation still caused toxic effects on the development of Lactuca sativa seeds.
- Intervention effect Elutriates from exotic vegetation caused notable structural damage to the aquatic macrophyte Landoltia punctata.
- Intervention effect Elutriates from exotic vegetation had lower concentrations of total phenolic compounds.
- Recommendation The authors recommend investigating reforested areas dominated by exotic species to assess their environmental impacts.
