摘要: Abstract The present study investigated the distribution of environmentally relevant metals and organic matter in shelf sediments southeastern Arabian Sea using biogeochemical proxies for assessment environmental quality trophic status. site followed order: Fe>Mg>Pb>Ni>Mn>Co>Cu>Zn>Cd. High biological productivity associated with upwelling leads to significant accumulation Cd higher than crustal abundance region. enrichment factor (EF) demonstrate Pb Co which suggests anthropogenic influence not redox conditions. sediment guidelines (SQG) comparison metal concentration revealed adverse effects, possibly occurring marine benthic species. spatial trend along transects is appreciably controlled by adsorption fine grained sediments. multivariate statistical analyses, such as correlations principal component analysis (PCA) clearly indicated control texture, association clay minerals degree trace (Cd, Pb, Ni Co) contamination from well natural sources. Low levels Zn, preferably display scavenging Fe/Mn oxides. Biochemical descriptors meso-oligotrophic conditions prevailing summer monsoon. ratios among various parameters total carbon/total nitrogen (TOC/TN
