Abstract
:
The present study analyzed water plant vegetation in the different water bodies of the aquatic habitats associated with the River Nile system in Beni Suef, Egypt. Fifteen species belonging 11 genera and nine families were recorded. Large irrigation canal showed the richest habitat in species number, while small irrigation drain showed the lowest habitat. Higher salinity and macro elements were recorded in sediments and water of drainage canals more than those of irrigation canals. Eichhornia crassipes, Potamogeton pectinatus, P. crispus and Echinochloa staginina were the most recorded species in all habitats, while Myriophyllum spicatum was recorded in River Nile and large irrigation canal only. Bioaccumulation of heavy metals by some plants was measured. Potamogeton pectinatus was the most efficient species to accumulate heavy metal in its tissue. The maximal extent of heavy metal accumulation up to 5807, 4230 and 45 μgg-1 DW for Mn, Fe and Cu, respectively was found in fully immersed P. pectinatus, while the highest value of Mn accumulation (9730 μgg-1 DW) was recorded by Ceratophyllum demersumu
