2008

To describe the geochemical features of the sediments in nine sicilian coastal lakes, 78 samples of surface sediments were collected in July 2005. Analyses of Nitrogen, Total Organic Carbon, Organic Matter, Carbonates and Grainsize were performed. A better correlation between the Organic Matter, evaluated through the Sequential-LOI, and TOC was found at 350 °C, rather than at 450 °C. Statistical analysis confirmed the similarities of the trends of TOC and LOI350 in the samples pooled according to the dominant grainsize, with the highest values associated to the medium sand fraction. The differences among the median values of the groups were significant (ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis; P<0.001). The …
