Abstract 'Background'is the concentration of metals in pristine sediment, unaltered by human
activity and 'enrichment'is the extent present-day sediment metal concentrations exceed pre …

The current critical review examines the application of 11 frequently used sedimentary metal
indices in their ability to accurately assess the magnitude of human-induced change …

Soil samples were collected in tidal freshwater and salt marshes in the Yellow River Delta
(YRD), northern China, before and after the flow-sediment regulation. Total concentrations of …

The Gascogne region (SW of France) is cultivated for more than 75% of the area. 83
samples of stream bed sediments were collected in three main Gascogne river basins (Gers …

The distributions, sources, annual sedimentation and atmospheric deposition flux of heavy
metals in surface sediments of the North Yellow Sea (NYS) were investigated. Higher …

Based on the monitoring of five heavy metal elements in the surface sediments of the Pearl
River in South China, potential toxicity of the heavy metals was assessed using consensus …

This study aims to investigate spatial distribution, contamination and origin of heavy metals
(Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, Co and Cr) in surface sediments of Jangsong tidal flat (JTF), Kangryong river …

Freshwater input is an important pathway for the restoration of degraded coastal wetlands,
however, little information is available on the negative effects of freshwater inputs on salt …

The impact of industrial effluents on the Tamiraparani estuary was investigated by
determining the degree of trace element contamination in the estuarine sediments. Surface …

The distributions, contamination status and annual sedimentation flux of trace metals in
surface sediments of the East China Sea (ECS) were studied. Higher concentrations of the …
