| Abstract: | Chloris barbata Sw. andCyperus rotundus L. from a mercury contaminated site near a chloralkali plant were tested for relative tolerance to Hg by root-elongation method. The above two species from the Hg-contaminated site exhibited high tolerance to Hg compared to the same species from a non-contaminated site. Tolerance to Hg was higher inChloris barbata than inCyperus rotundus. |
