Sediment accumulation rate and radiological characterisation of the sediment of Palmones River estuary (southern of Spain).

Abstract:

:Chemical analyses and radioecological methods were combined in order to estimate the sediment accumulation rate in the upper 20 cm depth of the Palmones River estuary. Organic matter, total carbon, C:N and (137)Cs vertical profiles showed changes at 13 cm depth. These changes could be associated with the decrease in river input since 1987 when a dam situated in the upper part of the estuary started to store water. Using 1987 as reference to date the sediment, accumulation rate was 1.2 cm yr(-1). As alternative method, two layer model of (210)Pb(xs) vertical distribution showed a sedimentation rate of 0.7 cm yr(-1) with a surface mixing layer of 7 cm thickness. The high ammonium, potassium and sodium content in pore water and the strong correlation between (137)Cs activities and organic matter in dry sediment suggests that (137)Cs (the only anthropogenic product detected) is mainly accumulated in the estuary associated with the particulate organic material from the catchment area.
