Integrative biomarker assessment of lead and zinc stress in Limonium brasiliense and Atriplex vulgatissima from Patagonian salt marshes

Key Points

• Lead and zinc stress significantly alters biomarker levels in Limonium brasiliense and Atriplex vulgatissima, indicating environmental damage.
• Biomarker responses in these plants show a notable adverse impact from metal exposure, which requires further investigation.
• Assessment using biomarker analysis across Patagonian salt marshes reveals crucial insights into plant responses under stress conditions.
• This work highlights the need for ongoing monitoring in coastal areas to understand the ecological consequences of metal contamination.
