Resumen
Objetivos: el objetivo de este trabajo fue comparar las concentraciones de nutrientes en agua, sedimento y en tejidos vegetales de Eichhornia crassipes y Panicum elephantipes estudiadas en ambientes lóticos y lénticos de la llanura aluvial del río Paraná Medio (Argentina). Materiales y Métodos: el estudio tuvo una duración de 18 meses. Plantas, agua y sedimento fueron colectados en una laguna (ambiente léntico) y en un río (ambiente lótico) de la llanura aluvial del río Paraná Medio. Agua y sedimento fueron colectados en sitios dominados por P. elephantipes o E. crassipes, y en sitios sin vegetación. Resultados y Discusión: los ambientes lénticos y lóticos dominados por E. crassipes mostraron las concentraciones de amonio más altas. El sedimento del ambiente lótico mostró concentraciones de fósforo total (PT) y nitrógeno total Kjeldahl (NTK) significativamente menores que las del sedimento del ambiente léntico. En este ambiente, el sedimento de la laguna dominada por E. crassipes mostró la concentración más alta de NTK, mientras que el sedimento de la laguna dominada por P. elephantipes mostró la concentración más alta de PT. Para ambas especies y ambos ambientes, las concentraciones de NTK y PT en tejidos vegetales fueron significativamente mayores en hojas que en raíces. Conclusiones: nuestros resultados podrán ser utilizados para optimizar la eficiencia de humedales de tratamiento. Además, el uso de macrófitas localmente disponibles como bioacumuladoras de contaminantes en la llanura aluvial del río Paraná Medio, es completamente factible.
