英文摘要 | Mangroves serve a crucial role as metal accumulators in tropical and subtropical marine ecosystems, particularly in riverine mangroves, which frequently interact with terrestrial sources. In this study, we focused on the Gaoqiao and Jiuzhou Rivers within the Zhanjiang mangrove forest in Guangdong, China, and collected leaves and surface sediments from the dominant mangrove plant, Aegiceras corniculatum, near the riverbanks. We focused on seven heavy metals (Cr, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Pb, and Hg) in mangrove leaves, surface sediments, and pore water due to their environmental significance and frequent occurrence in mangrove ecosystems. We employed multivariate statistical methods and pollution indicators to assess the potential sources and risk levels of heavy metals in these sediments. Our results reveal that the concentrations of the seven heavy metals in the sediments of the Gaoqiao and Jiuzhou Rivers varied significantly, ranging from 0.03 mg/kg to 100.00 mg/kg. Cd posed the highest ecological risk, followed by Hg and As. The comprehensive potential ecological risk in the Gaoqiao River was lower than that in the Jiuzhou River, likely due to the distribution of industrial enterprises (such as printing and cement plants) in the upper reaches of the Jiuzhou River. Additionally, the heavy metal content in the leaves of A. corniculatum and in pore water within surface sediments ranged from 0.01 to 51.58 mg/kg and 0.001 to 133.70 mu g/L, respectively. A significant correlation was observed between the heavy metal concentrations in the A. corniculatum leaves and those in the pore water. Notably, the leaves of A. corniculatum exhibited a remarkable Hg-enrichment capability, highlighting its potential as a mercury accumulator. Most heavy metals in A. corniculatum leaves, pore water, and sediment were concentrated in the middle and upper reaches of the river, primarily due to anthropogenic terrestrial inputs from residential production activities upstream. Consequently, heavy metal pollution in riverine mangroves is primarily associated with human activities such as aquaculture, agricultural planting, and industrial production. |
