Abstract:

Decomposition of reed and cattail was measured in situ by standard net bag method. The rate of decomposition and release of nutrients, macroelements and heavy metals was analysed. The influence of nitrogen content and the N: P ratio on the process is suggested. The differences in decomposition rates and release of elements between plants or plant parts are presented and possible mechanisms of release are discussed in relation to particular element analysed.
