Bioavailability of Pb and Cu in Sediments of Vegetated Seagrass, Enhalus acoroides, from Spermonde Islands, Makassar, South Sulawesi, Indonesia

Seagrass might impact metal bioavailability in sediments with physiological processes that occur at the root and rhizome. Seagrass growth may increase bioavailability due to oxygen transport from leaves to the root systems. This study aims to analyze the concentrations of bioavailable Pb and Cu in sediments with and without seagrass. This study was done at two sites in Spermonde Islands, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. All metals analysis and sediment parameters were conducted on dry,
