Cadmium and Salinity Stressor Antagonism on Vallisneria neotropicalis
Get PDFSubmerged macrophytes form the foundation of freshwater ecosystems. These organisms are sessile and are very susceptible to shifts in their environment. Heavy metals are of particular concern as they can be sequestered indefinitely in sediments and are readily taken up by rooted vegetation. In the presence of saltwater intrusions, these metals can interact with salt ions potentially changing their availability to submerged vegetation. In this study a freshwater macrophyte, Vallisneria neotropicalis, was used as a test species for interactive effects between Cd, a non-essential heavy metal, and salt stress. The metrics used to establish the individual as well as the combined stressor effects were clonal reproduction rate, leaf growth rate, and total Cd body burden after exposure to three levels of salinity (0, 5, and 10 PSU) and three levels of sediment Cd (0, 10, and 40 ppm). In the presence of low salinity (5 PSU), ramet production was impeded less by Cd than it was in the presence of freshwater. There was also a significant decrease in leaf length in these treatments, indicating that the ramet production was balanced by a change in biomass allocation. However, the plant’s Cd body burden did not vary as a function of salinity. The trend of Cd accumulation irrespective of salinity suggests that the plants’ rate of Cd export could be a function of heavy metal-induced leaf senescence and shedding. We emphasize the need for further research to understand heavy metal export strategies across a salinity gradient in freshwater macrophytes
Down the Bay: Oral History and Archaeology
Get PDFOral historians and archaeologists from the University of Alabama share their work for the Down the Bay Oral History Project and the I-10 Mobile River Bridge Archaeology Project from 2021-2023. They share how archaeology and oral history work together to provide a more complete picture of the past.
