Abstract
Changes in the ocean temperature, seawater acidity, and oxygen level are parts of global change that may indirectly impact the biogeochemical cycles of trace metals in the marine system, particularly for the particulate phase. The different factors influencing the level of particulate trace metals are interesting topics for investigation. Following up on marine research in the estuary and coastal areas, we specifically review the distribution of particulate trace metals. This review aims to provide an overview of the progress of studies on particulate metals in the marine environment and to understand the factors that influence the level of particulate metals. Spatially, the distribution of particulate trace metals decreases towards the sea due to the influence of salinity, while the temporal distribution portrays the unique feature of each location that differences in metal sources and phytoplankton bloom periods might cause.
期刊介绍:
Marine Environmental Research publishes original research papers on chemical, physical, and biological interactions in the oceans and coastal waters. The journal serves as a forum for new information on biology, chemistry, and toxicology and syntheses that advance understanding of marine environmental processes.
Submission of multidisciplinary studies is encouraged. Studies that utilize experimental approaches to clarify the roles of anthropogenic and natural causes of changes in marine ecosystems are especially welcome, as are those studies that represent new developments of a theoretical or conceptual aspect of marine science. All papers published in this journal are reviewed by qualified peers prior to acceptance and publication. Examples of topics considered to be appropriate for the journal include, but are not limited to, the following:
– The extent, persistence, and consequences of change and the recovery from such change in natural marine systems
– The biochemical, physiological, and ecological consequences of contaminants to marine organisms and ecosystems
– The biogeochemistry of naturally occurring and anthropogenic substances
– Models that describe and predict the above processes
– Monitoring studies, to the extent that their results provide new information on functional processes
– Methodological papers describing improved quantitative techniques for the marine sciences.
