e0“The strong positive correlations between the concentrations of Mn in bottom sediments and the level this element in aboveground and underground sprouts indicate that the sprouts of Glyceria maxima are potentially useful in biomonitoring environmental contamination with Mn.”

Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Most measured sediment metal concentrations were within geochemical background limits.
- Observation Sediment Zn and Cu sporadically exceeded background in central city stations.
- Observation Sediment Ni exceeded geochemical background at all researched positions.
- Observation Słupsk bottom sediments were classified as slightly contaminated.
- Observation Underground sprouts accumulated several times more Zn, Mn, Cu and Ni than aboveground sprouts.
- Observation The least contaminated river segments had low or moderate riverbed transformation.
- Observation The highest Zn, Mn, Cu and Ni load occurred at stations with highly transformed riverbeds.
- Method / resource The authors identify Glyceria maxima sprouts as potentially useful for Mn biomonitoring.
