Mangroves around the world settle along coasts and estuaries, where they usually encounter aquaculture effluent that causes eutrophication regulates nitrogen cycle in their ecosystems. Moreover, physical–chemical features of sediment mangrove habitats might be altered by coastal wind, waves, currents more frequently under condition increasing extreme climatic events. These events affect process...

Enhanced deposition is common near river mouths where large amounts of sediment available. Our study focuses on the effects a mangrove forest in Mekong delta, Vietnam. At this site, fringe characterized by Sonneratia spp. and both mud sand are present. High rates bury roots pneumatophores, causing dieback. Field measurements indicate that dead trees ghost have buried about 1.20 m sediments, whi...

In this data article, by using inductively coupled plasma optical spectrometry (ICP-OES), we aimed to (1) determine the concentration levels of As, Ag, Sr, Sn, Sb, and Mo in the sediments and the shells of Trachycardium lacunosum simultaneously in two separated areas (unpolluted and polluted areas) (2) comparison between the metal contents of sediments in the unpolluted and polluted areas as we...

This is a preliminary report on total mercury (THg) in core sediments (\63 lm particle size) of Sunderban mangrove wetland, northeastern part of the Bay of Bengal, India. Cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry (CVAAS) was used for THg determination. The concentration varies from 9.8 to 535.1 ppb (ngg). Results revealed variations over premonsoon and postmonsoon month at different core depth,...
