Sediment cores of 60 cm length were collected from two Tagus estuary salt marshes. At
each salt marsh, samples were taken from a non-vegetated zone and one from each of …

Although seasonal temperature changes and (road) salt in winter and/or coastal stormwater
runoff might interfere with the metal treatment performance of stormwater bioretention cells …

Total concentration is not a reliable indicator of metal mobility or bioavailability in soils. The
