Contamination, ecological risk, and nutrient coupling of heavy metals in surface sediments of a subtropical mariculture bay, northern Beibu Gulf.
Heavy metal contamination and eutrophication are widely recognized as co-occurring in stressors in mariculture-dominated coastal bays, however, the mechanistic linkages among sedimentary nutrients, hydrodynamic processes, and heavy metals dynamics remain poorly understood. This study investigated the spatialtemporal va...
