Sedimentation rate of trace elements in the surface sediment of the south China Sea

Trace elements contents in the surface sediments (about 5 cm depth) of the South China Sea were obtained during the Ekspedisi Matahari cruises. Their concentrations are slightly different from cruise to cruise and may be related to the content of water column and input from the land through river or...
