Timothy J. Canfield,F. James Dwyer,James F. Fairchild,Pamela S. Haverland,Christopher G. Ingersoll,Nile E. Kemble,David R. Mount,Thomas W. La Point,G. Allen Burton,Michael C. Swift +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the composition of benthic invertebrate communities in contaminated sediments and is one in a series of papers describing studies conducted to evaluate sediment toxicity from three AOC's (Buffalo River, NY; Indiana Harbor, IN; Saginaw River, MI), as part of the Assessment and Remediation of Contaminated Sediment (ARCS) program, a number of studies were conducted to determine the nature and extent of sediment contamination in Great Lakes Areas of Concern (AOC).

The Mangrove Ecosystem of the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta (Colombia): Observations on Regeneration and Trace Metals in Sediment
Laura Perdomo,Ingo Ensminger,Luisa fernanda Espinosa,Carola Elster,Mônica Wallner-Kersanach,Marie-Luise Schnetter +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the influence of salinity of surface water, duration and height of flooding, leaching property of soils, dispersal of propagules and presence of fertile trees on mangrove regeneration.
Journal ArticleDOI
From risk assessment to sediment management an international perspective
TL;DR: A review of sediment assessment frameworks from around the world can be found in this paper, where the main similarities and differences, and some of the reasons behind them, are discussed, as well as why these are (or should be) driven by sediment management goals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aliphatic hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls, organochlorine, and organophosphorous pesticides in surface sediments from the Arc river and the Berre lagoon, France.

TL;DR: The evaluations suggest the sources of hydrocarbons in the sediments were generally biogenic and markedly more pyrolytic rather than petrogenic, which may indicate high potential toxicity of the sediment with probable adverse effects to the living biota.
Characterization of Transboundary POP Contamination in Aquatic Ecosystems of
TL;DR: It is shown that it may lead to transboundary POP pollution problems at both Hong Kong and Macau Special Administration Regions located at the downstream end of the region.

Selenium Hazards to Fish, Wildlife, and Invertebrates: A Synoptic Review
TL;DR: A review of the environmental and toxicological aspects of selenium in the environment is presented in this paper, including its chemistry, background residues in biological and other materials, and toxic, sub-lethal, and latent effects (including the effects of Se deficiency).
Journal ArticleDOI
Current approaches to developing sediment quality criteria
TL;DR: It is concluded that, for chemical-by-chemical criteria, the equilibrium partitioning method shows promise; for criteria that are also applicable to chemical mixtures, the apparent effects threshold/sediment quality triad approaches appear to be most appropriate.
