“…Heavy metals are adsorbed very efficiently on fine soil particles, mainly on clay particles and OM, so their input can be attributed to erosion. In particular, soils intensively treated with mineral fertilizers can contain substantial amounts of heavy metals (Mortvedt and Beaton 1995;Gołdyn et al 2015). Evaluation of the heavy metal concentrations relative to their geochemical background and a classification of sediments in the neighbouring country, Poland (Polish Geological Institute, State Inspection of Environmental Protection), give similar results.…”

“…This is because the conductivity of water bodies in an agricultural landscape is usually correlated with the intensity of mineral fertilization in the catchment area (Kamiński et al 2011) and the intensity of fertilization is also related to the amount of heavy metals introduced into the fields with the fertilizers (Mortvedt and Beaton 1995). Thus, the conductivity of water and the concentration of heavy metals in the sediments of kettle holes near Poznań, Western Poland, were correlated (Gołdyn et al 2015). Because this relationship was not significant for RG and KR, it is reasonable to assume that within a moderate range of fertilizer application, local geomorphology (Kalettka and Rudat 2006) and erosion are the key factors in metal loading scenarios.…”

“…Nevertheless, more kettle holes need to be studied. Gołdyn et al (2015) reported the concentrations of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) in bottom sediments of 30 small kettle holes in the agricultural landscape of western Poland. The most important factors influencing the heavy metal concentrations were maximum depth, area of the pond, its hydroperiod and pH and conductivity of the water.…”

“…The contents of Zn, Cu, Pb and Cd of RG 1 and KR 1 (Figs. 6 and 7) are above their Polish background equivalents (Zn 48, Cu 6, Pb 10 and Cd 0.5 μg g −1 ), but according to the four-class sediment classification: I-unpolluted, II-moderately polluted, IIIsediments of medium pollution, IV-heavily polluted (Gołdyn et al 2015), RG 1 and KR 1 are in the range between classes I and II.…”

“…comm.). Finally, elements accumulated in the kettle holes represent the sum of materials delivered directly by atmospheric deposition, those held up temporarily in surface soils and delivered by occasional erosion and elements transported by inflowing surface and ground water (Karasiewicz et al 2014;Gołdyn et al 2015).…”

Glacial kettle holes in young moraine regions receive abundant terrigenous material from their closed catchments. Core chronology and sediment accumulation were determined for two semi-permanent kettle holes, designated RG and KR, on arable land close to the villages of Rittgarten and Kraatz, respectively, in Uckermark, NE Germany. Core dating ((210)Pb, (137)Cs) revealed variable sediment accretion rates through time (RG 0.4-23.1 mm a(-1); KR 0.2-35.5 mm a(-1)), with periods of high accumulation corresponding to periods of intensive agricultural activity and consequent erosional inputs from catchments. Sediment composition (C, N, P, S, K, Ca, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, Mo, Pb, Cd, Zr) was used to determine sediment source and input processes. At RG, annual P input increased from 0.65 kg ha(-1) in the early nineteenth century to 1.67 kg ha(-1) by 2013. At KR, P input increased from 0.6 to 4.1 kg ha(-1) over the last century. There was a concurrent increase in Fe input in both water bodies. Thus, Fe/P ratios showed no temporal trend and did not differ between RG (18.5) and KR (18.4), indicating similar P mobility. At RG, the S/Fe ratio increased from 0.4 to 2.3, indicating more iron sulphides and thus higher P availability, coinciding with high coverage of duckweed (Spirodela polyrhiza (L.)) and soft hornwort (Ceratophyllum submersum L.). At KR, however, this ratio remained low and relatively unchanged (0.3 ± 0.4), indicating more efficient Fe-P binding and lower hydrophyte productivity. Trends in sediment composition indicate a shift towards eutrophication in both kettle holes, but with differences in timing and magnitude. Other morphologically similar kettle holes in NE Germany that are prone to erosion could have been similarly impacted but may differ in the extent of sediment infilling and degradation of their ecological functions.

Mangroves have wide applications in traditional medicines due to their several therapeutic properties. Potentially toxic elements (PTEs), in mangrove habitats, need serious concern because of their toxicity, bioaccumulation capacity and ecotoxicological risks. In the current study, we aimed to examine sediment quality and bioaccumulation of PTEs in a mangrove-dominated habitat of Sundarban, India, and their relation with antimicrobial property of ten mangrove species of the region. Antimicrobial activity of different solvent fractions of mangrove leaves was assessed against seven microorganisms. The highest antimicrobial activity was detected in ethyl acetate and acetone-extracted fractions of Avicennia alba. Various sediment quality indices revealed progressively deteriorating nature of surface sediment having moderate contamination, however, low ecotoxicological risk. The accumulation factors (AF) for different PTEs indicate a gradual metal bioaccumulation in leaf tissue. Antimicrobial activities indicated both positive and negative correlations with manganese (Mn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) concentrations of mangrove species. Concentration of Mn showed a significant correlation with almost all the fractions, whereas Cu had correlation with ethyl acetate, acetone and methanol fractions (P < 0.05). The AF of Mn and Cu exhibited correlation with antimicrobial activities of acetone and methanol fractions, whereas Fe and Zn had correlation with hexane and ethyl acetate fractions. Overall, Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn concentrations of Acanthus ilicifolius and Avicennia alba leaves and in the surface sediments demonstrated the strongest association (P < 0.05) with their antimicrobial activity as also depicted in correlation and cluster analysis studies. Thus, this study will help to establish a link between the PTEs in mangrove ecosystem with their bioactivity.
