Anaerobic digestion of cattail by rumen cultures

Waste Management, 2006
The anaerobic digestion of aquatic plants could serve the dual roles for producing renewable energy and reducing waste. In this study, the anaerobic digestion of cattail (Typha latifolia linn), a lignocellulosic aquatic plant, by rumen microorganisms in batch cultures was investigated.

Phytoextraction of ciprofloxacin and sulfamethoxaxole by cattail and switchgrass

Chemosphere, 2021
Cattail (Typha latifolia L.) and switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) can effectively remove inorganic contaminants from soils and biosolids, but their role in the attenuation of organic contaminants, such as antimicrobials, is currently poorly understood.

Absorption of Phosphorus by Cattail Callus Cells

Linking Stormwater BMP Designs and Performance to Receiving Water Impact Mitigation, 2002
Data from this study demonstrates that cattail callus cells can be used to predict the phosphorus concentration in cattail leaves when they are supplied with similar phosphorus levels. If this relationship between callus cells and whole plants is found applicable to other marsh plant species, callus cells could be used as a rapid means to screen plants

Genetics of cattails in radioactively contaminated areas around Chornobyl

Molecular Ecology, 2006
AbstractResearch on populations from radioactively contaminated areas around Chornobyl has produced ambiguous results for the presence of radiation effects. More studies are needed to provide information on whether radiation exposure at Chornobyl significantly affected genetic diversity in natural populations of various taxa.

Absorptive Extraction of Pb by Cattail Plant

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2013
A kind of cattail (Typhaorientalis Presl) were collected from a tailings of Pb mine and cultivated in a hydroponic solution containing different concentrations of Pb (NO3)2 in order to identify whether T.orientalis is potential for phytoremediation of Pb.

Three-trophic-level interactions in cattail hybrid zones

Oecologia, 1996
Plant-herbivore and herbivore-parasitoid wasp interactions were examined in three hybrid zones of the cattails Typha latifolia and T. angustifolia in south-eastern Michigan over a 2-year period. Patterns of resource use by two lepidopteran species of seed-eating herbivores were studied and herbivore densities sustained by the hybrid cattail T. x glauca

Controlling Cattail Invasion in Sedge / Grass Meadows

Wetlands, 2017
As a result of water-level regulation, cattails have invaded sedge/grass meadow in all wetlands on Lake Ontario. Even with a change in water-level-regulation to a more natural hydrologic regime, restoration requires methods for active cattail management without the ability to manipulate water depths and without imperiling other vegetation. We conducted

Evapotranspiration Crop Coefficients for Cattail and Bulrush

Journal of Hydrologic Engineering, 2004
Accurate estimates of evapotranspiration from constructed wetlands are required to establish design flow estimates and to assess the effectiveness of wetland water quality amelioration. Water consumption by two wetland plant species, Typha latifoilia (broadleaf cattail) and Scoenoplectus acutus (hardstem bulrush), was measured in a greenhouse for eight

Arsenic Sequestration by Ferric Iron Plaque on Cattail Roots

Environmental Science & Technology, 2004
Typha latifolia (cattail) sequesters arsenic within predominantlyferric iron root coatings, thus decreasing mobility of this toxic element in wetland sediments. Element-specific XRF microtomographic imaging illustrated a high spatial correlation between iron and arsenic in root plaques, with little arsenic in the interior of the roots.

Dilute-sulfuric acid pretreatment of cattails for cellulose conversion

Bioresource Technology, 2011
The use of aquatic plant cattails to produce biofuel will add value to land and reduce emissions of greenhouse gases by replacing petroleum products. Dilute-sulfuric acid pretreatment of cattails was studied using a Dionex accelerated solvent extractor (ASE) varying acid concentration (0.1-1%), treatment temperature (140-180 °C), and residence time (5 ...
