Environmental pollution by heavy metals is becoming a serious problem globally. Excess Manganese (M n) can inhibit the photosynthetic process, which consequently results in a reduction of phytoremediation of soils polluted by heavy metals. In this study, Melia azedarach which distributed widely in south China was employed as experimental material. MnCl2(analytically pure) (0, 10 and 30 g) were mixed with pure water first and the mixture solution was divided into 10 equal parts to add to the pots every day, respectively. They were designated as ...
