Sediment Characteristic Studies in the Surface Sediment from Kemaman Mangrove Forest, Terengganu, Malaysia
43 surface sediment samples from Kemaman mangrove forest, Terengganu were analyzed for sediment characteristic (mean, sorting and skewness) off two seasons (dry season and wet season) by using the Particle Size Analyzer (PSA) after digest the sample with Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) and Hydrochloric Acid (HCl). There is a significant (P<0.05) relationship between sediment characteristic with the se...
متن کاملAccumulation of lead and copper in Rhizophora apiculata from Setiu mangrove forest, Terengganu, Malaysia.
The accumulative partitioning of Pb and Cu in the Rhizophora apiculata was studied randomly in the Setiu mangrove forest, Terengganu. Samples of leaves, barks and roots were collected randomly from the selected studied species. Sediments between the roots of the sampled mangrove plants were also collected. The results from analysis for Rhizophora apiculata shows that the concentration of Pb and...
متن کاملdigestive tube contents of blood cockle (anadara granosa) in a tropical mangrove estuary in malaysia
this study was carried out to clarify the feeding biology of the blood cockle ( anadara granosa ). we collected blood cockles from 8 stations in the matang mangrove estuary of malaysia in july and august 2010. the digestive tube contents of the specimens were stained with congo red and observed under a light microscope. the results showed blood cockles take in particles containing cellulose as ...
متن کاملSpatial and Temporal Variation of Organic Carbon in Mangrove Sediment of Rembau-Linggi Estuary, Malaysia
Mangrove sediments act as site of organic carbon accumulation in estuary. This paper aims to determine the distribution of OC content in mangrove sediment in mangrove root zone. Three replicate samples of mangrove sediment were collected from seven stations. Six in-situ water quality parameters were measured during low tide along the river. The OC content in mangrove sediment varied significant...
متن کاملEffects of Fiddler Crab Burrows on Sediment Properties in the Mangrove Mudflats of Sungai Sepang, Malaysia
In mangrove ecosystems, litter fall accumulates as refractory organic carbon on the sediment surface and creates anoxic sediment layers. Fiddler crabs, through their burrowing activity, translocate oxygen into the anoxic layers and promote aerobic respiration, iron reduction and nitrification. In this study, the effects of four species of fiddler crabs (Uca triangularis, Uca rosea, Uca forcipat...
