Abstract
The antioxidant activity of two common species of aquatic plants (Batrachium trichophyllum (Chaix) Bosch. and Potamogeton alpinus Balb.) with different “accumulation strategies” has been studied. It is shown that the leaves of Batrachium trichophyllum, which accumulate metals in large amounts, have a higher intensity of proand antioxidant processes than Potamogeton alpinus.
