The determination of 230Th in the sediments: Sedimentation in Matang Mangrove Forest, Taiping, Perak

Mangrove forests are a buffer zone between the coast and the ocean. One of the important functions is to provide a mechanism for trapping sediment. Suspended sediment is introduced to coastal areas by river discharge, dumping of dredged material and resuspension of bottom sediment by waves and ship...
