| dc.description.abstract | Assuming linear relationships between elements, some significant interelement relationships were detected in Rhizophora mangle grown over a salinity gradient. Sodium (Na) had a clear antagonistic effect on the uptake of potassium (K), whereas the uptake of chromium (Cr) and arsenic (As) seemed to be stimulated by sodium ions. A positive relationship between leaf carbon content and sodium concentration was also found. A significant negative correlation was found between the chemically related two elements, rubidium (Rb) and caesium (Cs). Owing to the competition with the absorption of K+ and NH+ 4 a negative relationship between nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) was found. | en_US |
