Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Nutrient concentrations in the herbaceous plants differed substantially depending on species, sampling period and stream.
- Observation Many plant species take up nutrients in quantities exceeding their physiological demand, making them usable in water purification.
- Observation Potassium had one of the highest bioconcentration factors in the shoots, 8,118–42,314.
- Observation Nitrogen had one of the highest bioconcentration factors in the shoots, 11,716–41,645.
- Observation Phosphorus had one of the highest bioconcentration factors in the shoots, 11,607–37,459.
- Observation Magnesium had lower bioconcentration factors in the shoots, 1,161–2,973.
- Observation Calcium had lower bioconcentration factors in the shoots, 85–393.
- Observation The highest shoot bioconcentration factor for N was found in Filipendula ulmaria, Athyrium filix-femina and Ranunculus acris.
- Observation The highest shoot bioconcentration factor for P was found in Veronica beccabunga, Chrysosplenium alternifolium and Epilobium palustre.
- Observation The highest shoot bioconcentration factor for K was found in Veronica beccabunga, Ranunculus acris and Chrysosplenium alternifolium.
- Observation The highest shoot bioconcentration factor for Mg was found in Filipendula ulmaria, Stellaria nemorum and Epilobium palustre.
- Observation The highest shoot bioconcentration factor for Ca was found in Chrysosplenium alternifolium, Geranium robertianum and Cardamine amara.
