Importance of background values in assessing the impact of heavy metals in river ecosystems: case study of Tisza River, Serbia.

abstract：:Rice production in floodplain deltas is currently vulnerable to climate change and contamination from anthropogenic activities. The relocation of rice production to upland regions could be an option for increasing the sustainability of rice production. Our study evaluated the spatial patterning of heavy metals, i.e., ...
