Verbatim
e0“a freshwater microcosm experiment was conducted at the IISD Experimental Lakes Area, Canada”
e1“Triplicate microcosms containing 3L of lake water were established with either Typha sp., Carex utriculata, or C. lasiocarpa and then treated with nominal concentration of 1 mg/L phenanthrene”
e2“Phenanthrene declined by over 89.30% in all microcosms that received the compound, but the decline was more rapid in microcosms that included Typha sp. and C. lasiocarpa, than those with C. utriculate or no plants”

Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Phenanthrene decline was more rapid in microcosms with Typha sp. and C. lasiocarpa than with C. utriculata or no plants.
- Mechanism Phenanthrene decline in microcosms without plants may have resulted from biofilm stimulation.
- Association Specific conductivity and pH were influenced by plant type.
- Association Phenanthrene did not influence specific conductivity or pH.
- Association Dissolved oxygen was influenced by plant type.
- Association Phenanthrene had no influence on plant growth rates or root biofilm bioactivity.
