Marine coastal ecosystem (Ecosystems 🏞️)

A marine coastal ecosystem is a marine ecosystem which occurs where the land meets the ocean. Worldwide there is about 620,000 kilometres of coastline. Coastal habitats extend to the margins of the continental shelves, occupying about 7 percent of the ocean surface area. Marine coastal ecosystems include m...

#Sweden - Removal of #PFAS from water by #AquaticPlants

Maria Greger, Tommy Landberg
February, 2024

Highlights

• High total biomass is important plant trait for high PFAS accumulation from water.
• Higher PFAS accumulation in shoot than roots with time.
• Degradation of PFAS with root peroxidases and laccases.

Abstract:

"We have found that aquatic plants can reduce the content of perfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) within a short period of time. The aim of this study was to determine the variation in the uptake of PFAS from contaminated water by various #wetland plant species, investigate the effect of #biomass on PFAS removal, and determine whether laccases and peroxidases are involved in the removal and degradation of PFAS. Seventeen emergent and one submerged wetland plant species were screened for PFAS uptake from highly contaminated lake water. The screening showed that #EriophorumAngustifolium, #CarexRostrata, and #ElodeaCanadensis accumulated the highest levels of all PFAS. These species were thereafter used to investigate the effect of biomass on PFAS removal from water and for the enzyme studies. The results showed that the greater the biomass per volume, the greater the PFAS removal effect. The plant-based removal of PFAS from water is mainly due to plant absorption, although degradation also occurs. In the beginning, most of the PFAS accumulated in the roots; over time, more was translocated to the shoots, resulting in a higher concentration in the shoots than in the roots. Most PFAS degradation occurred in the water; the metabolites were thereafter taken up by the plants and were accumulated in the roots and shoots. Both peroxidases and laccases were able to degrade PFAS. We conclude that wetland plants can be used for the purification of PFAS-contaminated water. For effective purification, a high biomass per volume of water is required."

Outing with a client to admire some #koi #fish & get some fresh air.

Native edible aquatic plant. American white water lilies at Prospect Lake in the Highlands. Nymphaea odorata. These are the only native water lilies in this area of the world. Other water lilies you see are invasive introduced species.
Beavers & muskrats like eating their stems.
Their seeds, flowers & rhizomes can all be eaten raw or cooked. Roots can be boiled to create a medicinal liquid to treat sore throats (gargle it) & for diarrhea (drink it). Many Indigenous peoples used the rhizomes to treat coughs/colds & crushed stems can be put on teeth to treat toothaches.

Lily pads float on the surface of a pond, creating a striking contrast between the white leaves and the dark water. The natural arrangement of the lily pads forms an intricate, almost patterned display.

Another aquatic plant occurring in the coastal Amazon region: Mayaca fluviatilis Aubl. This is one of two species from a small, monogeneric monocot family we find in ponds and flooded wetlands around Bragança. Its very soft aquatic shoots decay quickly after the ponds dry out but while water levels are decreasing, aerial shoots with more rigid structures develop. The tiny flowers developing on these shoots are quite beautiful.

The Amazon region is best known for its tropical rainforests. However, there are other ecosystems … Here in Bragança and the neighbouring districts there are seasonal coastal wetlands between the mainland and the mangrove-covered intertidal zone. They are inundated by freshwater during the rainy season. A common aquatic plant in channels and lakes is Cabomba aquatica, a distant relative of the water lilies.

Only me & my friend were on the lake, yesterday. Very nice & peaceful.

This superb pale yellow Water Lily, #nymphaeaceae with the deep rich yellow centre is one of the highlights of my backyard pond. The green lily pads naturally enhance the yellow petals and the reflection is perfection.
