Abstract: | Organic matter constituents (C, N, P) have been measured in surficial sediment samples from a coastal area often subjected to eutrophication phenomena. Chemical and physico-chemical parameters are substantially homogeneous throughout the area investigated, indicating a mainly autochthonous origin of the sedimented organic matter and allowing some considerations on the diagenetic processes possibly occurring at the sediment-water interface in relation to nutrient release. |
