The sediment geochemical proxy of some chemical element in Dungun and Paka mangrove forest in Terengganu Malaysia

Abstract

There are not many researches done in the mangrove forest of Malaysia especially in the geochemical field. This research is carried out in the mangrove forests of Paka and Dungun, Terengganu. From each mangrove forests surface sediments samples were collected. Geochemical proxy of Al, Mn, Co, Cu and Cr, and organic carbon were carried out to excess the paleoproductivity of the mangrove forests.
