Role of Contaminant Uptake in the Potential Use of Phragmites Australis (CAV.) Trin. on Confined Disposal Facilities

Abstract

Phragmites Australia (Cav.) Trin., common reed, is a plant species that is common to fresh and brackish water marshes of the world. P. Australis has been recommended as one plant species that could survive and grow after being completely buried during dredged material disposal (Lee et al. 1976). P. australia can also serve as a physical barrier, because of its strong stems, to dredged material flow during hydraulic disposal.
