The main goal of this research was to test the effectiveness of Scrobicularia plana to reflect environmental mercury concentrations, with the aim to propose it as a suitable, sentinel mercury biomonitor.Significant differences in mercury concentrations were observed between small and larger sized individuals in the most contaminated sampling sites, suggesting progressive mercury accumulation with...
Mercury concentrations were quantified in Halimione portulacoides (roots, stems and leaves) as well as in sediments from eight Portuguese estuarine systems, covering seventeen salt marshes with distinct degrees of mercury contamination. The concentration of mercury in the sediments ranged from 0.03 to 17.0μgg −1 . The results show that the accumulation of mercury differed according to the...
