AbstractAbstract PDF
This study analyzes the geological and geochemical features of surface sediments in the Hwangdo Tidal Flat, located on Korea’s West Coast. The tidal flat experiences semi-diurnal tides, impacting organic matter decomposition and nutrient cycling. Ninety one sediment samples were collected and analyzed for physical and chemical properties including grain size, density, water content, organic carbon, and nitrogen. Sediments consist mainly of sand and silt, with coarser sediments near the main channel and finer sediments towards the west. Sediment grain size averages 4.12 Φ with a sorting coefficient of 1.96 Φ, indicating diverse energy environments. Total organic carbon and nitrogen correlate positively with grain size and density, reflecting sediment origin and environment. Kriging maps sediment grain size distribution, while correlation and linear regression analyses show relationships between variables. High correlations exist between various parameters, aligning with tidal flat characteristics and aiding understanding of sediment transport and deposition. The study provides baseline data for understanding the tidal flat’s geological, geochemical, and physical aspects, valuable for remote sensing validation and environmental monitoring. The dataset is freely available for research and management purposes.
