PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL BIOMARKERS OF MACROPHYTE RESILIENCE TO MILITARY-RELATED TOXIC STRESSORS

This study employs state-of-the-art analytical tools to investigate the ecotoxicological impacts of mercury contamination on aquatic macrophytes in post-military zones, focusing on Typha latifolia and Lemna minor as model organisms. The research methodology integrates multiple analytical techniques: spectrophotometric chlorophyll quantification using the Holm-Wettstein method, atomic absorption spectrometry utilizing a C-115PK Selmi spectrometer (precision ±0.001 mg/L), and fluorescence analysis via Flyuorat-02-Panorama spectrofluorometer.
