| Abstract | This study, for the first time, examines the transport of sediments, their longitudinal distribution pattern, and their role in disposal of metals in river-dominated deltaic depositional system of the Neretva River and its adjacent coastal region. The results have shown that longitudinal distribution of metals in sediments follows the deposition pattern of the river-borne clayey mineral particles. The highest concentration of metals was found in the semi-enclosed area of the Neretva Channel. This region is characterized by deposition of fine-grained particles and prevalent accumulation of metals. This study exemplifies the role of Fe oxide and oxyhydroxide coatings on the clay mineral surfaces as a major factor in the adsorption and deposition pathways of trace elements. |
