Abstract
The wetland sediments and soils of floodplains play an important role in the biogeocycling of heavy metals. Aquatic macrophytes are important components of wetland ecosystems. Here, the role of aquatic macrophytes in metal dynamics in wetland sediments is presented. The mechanisms of tolerance to metals in aquatic plants, including metal immobilization, chelation, translocation, and metabolic adaptations, are reviewed based on selected examples from the recent literature. The role of both photosynthetic activity and competitive/synergistic effects of the elements available to aquatic macrophytes in the circulation and deposition of metals are discussed in terms of the functioning of wetland ecosystems and phytoremediation.
