Abstract

Aquatic plants were collected from different localities in the Al-Hammar marsh, southern Iraq, during late spring 1985. The marsh water is oligohaline. Typha angustata, Potamogeton pectinatus and Phragmites australis were the most abundant species in the study sites. The chemical composition of 15 aquatic plants in the study sites are given and compared with soil and water characters. These plants indicate variations among the species. All plants contain higher amounts of K than Na, while the opposite is found in the water. The Ca contents of plants and soil are higher than Mg.
