Abstract The current study aims to form new prediction models to approximate the possible uptake of six heavy metals (HMs) (Cd, Cu, Fe, Ni, Pb and Zn) in Phragmites australis tissues, including stems, leaves and belowground tissues (BGT). Samples of different plant tissues from two populations with different ages and sediments were collected monthly during one growing season (January–December) from 9 sites at Lake Burullus, and the tissues were analysed. A nonsignificant difference was observed between the actual and predicted quantities of HMs in the three tissues using t values, which reflects the goodness of fit of these equations for predicting the uptake of these HMs. Such types of equations may be helpful for evaluating the potential of this plant to phytoremediate these six HMs in Lake Burullus.

普通芦苇（Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steudel）作为预测埃及布鲁勒斯湖重金属污染的候选物：一种生物监测方法

摘要 本研究旨在形成新的预测模型，以近似估计芦苇组织（包括茎、叶和地下组织（BGT））中六种重金属（HMs）（Cd、Cu、Fe、Ni、Pb 和 Zn）的可能吸收量。 . 在一个生长季节（1 月至 12 月）期间，每月从布鲁勒斯湖的 9 个地点收集来自不同年龄和沉积物的两个种群的不同植物组织样本，并对组织进行分析。使用 t 值观察到三种组织中 HMs 的实际和预测数量之间没有显着差异，这反映了这些方程的拟合优度，用于预测这些 HMs 的吸收。这种类型的方程可能有助于评估该植物对布鲁勒斯湖中这六种重金属进行植物修复的潜力。
