Although their ecological and socioeconomic importance has received recent attention,
mangrove ecosystems are one of the most threatened tropical environments. Besides direct …

The scientific literature for fate and effects of non-nutrient contaminant concentrations is
skewed for reports describing sediment contamination and bioaccumulation for trace metals …

The aim of this study was to investigate the concentrations and pollution status of heavy
metals (Cu, Cd, Ni, Pb, Zn and Cr) in the mangrove surface sediments from the Farasan …

The chemical speciation of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn) in marine sediments
from two coastal regions of Singapore (Kranji in the NW, and Pulau Tekong in the NE) was …

Abstract Concentrations of Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni and Fe were determined in the surface
sediments to investigate the distributions, concentrations and the pollution status of heavy …

Trace metals in mangrove tissues (leaf, branch, root and fruit) of nine species and sediments
of ten cores collected in 2008 from Dongzhai Harbor, Sanya Bay and Yalong Bay, Hainan …

Road deposited sediments (RDS) are a valuable environmental medium for characterizing
contaminant levels in urban areas; and their associated potentially toxic elements (PTEs) …

Mangrove forests prevalent along the intertidal regions of tropical and sub-tropical
coastlines are inimitable and dynamic ecosystems. They protect and stabilize coastal areas …

Mangroves play an integral role as a metal accumulator in tropical and subtropical marine
ecosystems. Twenty-one sets of sediment samples and portions of mangroves were …

Mangrove forests, the intertidal wetlands of the tropics and subtropics, are key ecological
habitats that link terrestrial and marine environments. Mangrove forests and adjacent …
