Differential effect of manganese on the germination of Triglochin striata (Juncaginaceae) and Cotula coronopifolia (Asteraceae) in Laguna de Carrizal Bajo wetland, Atacama Region, Chile/Efecto diferencial de manganeso sobre la germinación de Triglochin striata (Juncaginaceae) y Cotula coronopifolia (Asteraceae) en el humedal Laguna de Carrizal Bajo, Región de Atacama, Chile

Manganese (Mn) is an essential micronutrient for the metabolism of vascular plants, but it can be toxic when pH, anaerobic conditions and/or drainage favor its bioavailability and absorption. Because Mn can accumulate in coastal marshes and wetlands, it is particularly important to evaluate a possib...

Summary:Manganese (Mn) is an essential micronutrient for the metabolism of vascular plants, but it can be toxic when pH, anaerobic conditions and/or drainage favor its bioavailability and absorption. Because Mn can accumulate in coastal marshes and wetlands, it is particularly important to evaluate a possible effect on the plants. Guerrero-Leiva et al analyze under laboratory conditions the germinative response of two macrophytes Triglochin striata (Juncaginaceae) and Cotula coronopifolia (Asteraceae) in Laguna de Carrizal Bajo wetland, Atacama Region, Chile.
