Mangroves play an important role for removing nutrients, heavy metals, and other pollutants in wetland ecosystems. This study investigated the physiological responses of a mangrove plant (i.e., Sonneratia apetala Buch-Ham) to different wastewater pollution levels. Four different treatments, namely three concentration levels (i.e., normal, five-time-greater than normal, and ten-time-greater than normal) of wastewaters and one control (i.e., salted water), were used to grow the mangrove plants. Results showed that the height and biomass of the plant increased with wastewater pollution levels. No significant differences in root and catalase activities were observed among different treatments, whereas the increases in peroxidase and superoxide dismutase activities were attributed to the need for detoxification. In general, leaf chlorophyll content increased with wastewater pollution levels due to the increase in nutrient contents. |
