Distribution of some geochemical elements in the surface sediment of Kerteh Mangrove Forest, Terengganu, Malaysia

Surface sediments collected from two transects (30 sampling points) in the Kerteh mangrove forest had been analyzed for Co, Cu, Pb, Zn and Cr concentrations with the Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The average concentration of Co was 8.91 ± 1.89 μg/g dry weight, Cu was 29.0 ±...
