| Abstract: | The surface sediments of Veli consists an average concentration of 2.75% Na and 1.02% K. The content of Na and K in the surface (Na=2.14%; K=1.48%) and core sediments of Kochi (Cochin) mangroves are almost similar. Kannur mangroves exhibit an average of 2.43% Na and 5.36% of K. The mean enrichment of Na and K in the sediment cores KC1, KC2 and KC3 are 2.93% and 1.8%, 2% and 4.65%, 2.13% and 1.23%, respectively. The enrichment of K over Na in Kannur mangroves could be either due to the contribution from the mangrove vegetative debris or fixation of these elements in clay minerals of the sediment substratum. |
