Comparative Sensitivity of Selenastrum capricornutum and Lemna minor to Sixteen Herbicides

Entry ID: usgs_brd_cerc_d_algae

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Aquatic plant toxicity tests are frequently conducted in environmental risk
assessments to determine the potential impacts of contaminants on primary
producers. An examination of published plant toxicity data demonstrates that
