conservative pollutant initialy introduced in the overlying water of our experiment microcosms. This metal is representatives of urban hazard that bio-accumulate in plants as a function of time. Our results indicated that the bioturbation plays a significant role within biogeochemical cycle in uptake process of this metal by Typha latifolia in our experimental aquatic systems. Bioaccumulation of pollutants (Cd) by aquatic plants (Typha latifolia) was increased by about 40% with sediment bioturbation (Tubifex
