Environmental Science Research Centre,Xiamen University, Xiamen,361005) Abstract :The present investigation compared the capacity of greenhouse pot2cultivation systems under two salinity conditions (fresh2 water and saline water) with two main mangrove species, B ruguiera gym norrhiza and Kandelia candel,to remove nutrients from livestock wastewater. The increasing times of P contents in plants receiving livestock wastewater were 1 4 times that of the controls, much more than those of N contents ( times). The removal efficiencies of N nutrients from livestock wastewater were 8413 % and 9515 % respectively by Kandelia candel and B ruguiera gym norrhiza pot2cultivation systems under freshwater condition and 9217 % and 9810 % under saline water condition. P nutrient removal efficiencies by Kandelia candel and B ruguiera gym nor2 rhiza systems under freshwater condition were 7912 % and 9118 % respectively and 8810 % and 9718 % under saline water condi2 tion. Salinity condition has no significant effect on the N nutrient removal by Kandelia candel plants. The P removal efficiencies by Kandelia candel and B ruguiera gym norrhiza plants were less than 4 % and much lower than those of N. Under both salinit y condi2 tions,higher N/ P absorption ratios by plants were found in B ruguiera gym norrhiza plants (11164 and under freshwater and saline water conditions respectively). Most of the nutrients retained to the systems due to the discharges of livestock wastewater were removed by soils. Most N nutrients retained in soils lost away from the systems.
