Morphological performance of Thypa angustifolia L. grown in acid mine drainage (AMD)

Typha angustifolia L. was chosen to study responses of morphological characters to acid mine drainage (AMD) conditions for 120 days. The study was conducted at the former Mamut Copper Mine, Ranau, Sabah with observations carried out 15-day intervals. Plant samples from Tanjung Lipat, Kota Kinabalu w...
