Effective phytoremediation of Mn contaminated soil requires the selection of a species with good manganese tolerance. Broussonetia papyrifera is an important economic plant and pioneer species, it could be well adapted to drought and saline-alkali environment. In order to understand the effect of Mn stress on B. papyrifera, the effects of different concentrations of Mn (0–50 mmol/L)stress on the growth, morphology, Mn tolerance and physiological indexes of the plant were explored. The results showed that the biomass, surface area, length, root...
