The interactions and mechanisms between sulfur and heavy metals are a growing focus of
biogeochemical studies in coastal wetlands. These issues underline the fate of heavy metals …

Nine units in new-born intertidal zone of the Yellow River estuary, China were examined for
concentrations of heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Cu, Zn and Ni) in sediments and plants. Heavy metal …

The structure of the bottom boundary layer (BBL) in aquatic flows influences a range of
biophysical processes, including sediment transport, hyporheic exchange, and biofilm …

Pools of Zn, Cu, Cd and Co in the leaf, stem and root tissues of Sarcocornia fruticosa,
Sarcocornia perennis, Halimione portulacoides and Spartina maritima were analysed for a …

Prior to modern environmental regulation landfills in low-lying coastal environments were
frequently constructed without leachate control, relying on natural attenuation within inter …

Semi-diurnal and fortnightly surveys were carried out to quantify the effects of wind-and
navigation-induced high-energy events on bed sediments above intertidal mudflats. The …

Depth variation (2-cm resolution) of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cr, Ni, Cu, As and Cd concentrations were
determined in belowground biomass of Spartina maritima and Sarcocornia fruticosa and in …

The current study provides an information on the combined effect of pollution with potentially
toxic elements (PTEs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in hydromorphic soils …

In this study the effect of anthropogenic discharges on the heavy metal content in the
Potengi–Jundiai river system near the fast growing city of Natal, NE-Brazil, is investigated …

Concentrations and enrichment of major (Na, Al and Cl) and trace (V, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, As,
Br, Mo, Hg, Pb and U) elements were evaluated in 210 Pb-dated sediment cores from …
