Accumulation and distribution of lead and copper in Avicennia marina and Rhizophora apiculata from Balok mangrove forest, Pahang, Malaysia

Bioaccumulation of lead and Copper in Avicennia marina and Rhizophora apiculata was studied. Samples of leaves, barks and roots were collected from Balok mangrove forest, Pahang. Pb and Cu accumulation was higher in Avicennia marina root tissue compared to bark and leaf but lower than surrounding se...
