Metal uptake, transport and release by wetland plants: implications for phytoremediation and restoration. (2004, background): “Leaves of S. alterniflora were found to release two to four times more lead, copper, chromium and zinc than leaves of P. australis at the peak of the growing season (Burke et al., 2000).”

Exudation of organic acids by a marsh plant and implications on trace metal availability in the rhizosphere of estuarine sediments (2005, background): “The uptake of metals is affected by a number of environmental characteristics of sediments, namely the pH and redox potential (Burke et al., 2000).”
