An investigation was conducted over three estuaries in SE Australia with a gradient in metal(loid) contamination to assess metal(loid) (Cu, Zn, As, Se, Cd and Pb) accumulation and transport within the halophytic saltmarsh rush, Juncus kraussii. Sydney Olympic Park exhibited the most elevated metal(loid) contamination, followed by Hunter Wetlands and Lake Macquarie. J. kraussii exhibited a strong ability to restrict metal(loid) movement into the root system, with the exception of cadmium (BCFs < 1.0) and unrestricted flow from root to culm excepting Se, Cd (TFs < 1). Pb and Zn exhibited elevated translocation between roots and culms (TF 4.4 and 7.3, respectively). Despite barriers for uptake into the below-ground tissues, most metal(loid)s were accumulated to the roots with environmental dose (except for Cu and Cd) and linear relationships were present between the root and culm (for As and Se) and the sediment and culm (for As, Se, Cd, and Pb).

在澳大利亚东南部的三个河口进行了一项调查，其中金属（液体）污染呈梯度，以评估金属（液体）（Cu、Zn、As、Se、Cd 和 Pb）在盐生盐沼急流Juncus kraussii内的积累和运输。悉尼奥林匹克公园的金属（液体）污染程度最高，其次是亨特湿地和麦格理湖。J.克劳斯除了镉 (BCFs < 1.0) 和从根到茎的不受限制的流动，除了 Se、Cd (TFs < 1) 之外，表现出很强的限制金属（液体）进入根系的能力。Pb 和 Zn 表现出根和秆之间易位升高（分别为 TF 4.4 和 7.3）。尽管对地下组织的吸收存在障碍，但大多数金属（类）物质随环境剂量（Cu 和 Cd 除外）积累到根部，根和茎（对于 As 和 Se）与根之间存在线性关系。沉积物和秆（用于 As、Se、Cd 和 Pb）。
