Abstract

Accumulation and translocation rates of potassium, sodium, chloride and phosphate by roots and shoots of four species of submerged angiosperms (Myriophyllum spicatum L., Potamogeton perfoliatus L., Potamogeton lucens L. and Najas marina L.) were investigated. Rates of uptake by root and shoot tissues differed for the four ions investigated; they were similar in some species when calculated per unit tissue weight and differed in others. The potential contribution of the above-ground shoots to the mineral nutrition of those plant species seems to be greater than the contribution of the roots.
