Application of a new integrated sediment quality assessment method to Huelva estuary and its littoral of influence (Southwestern Spain)

A new integrated sediment quality assessment method composed of several assays (particle size profile, total metal content, protease K extraction, total organic carbon, toxicity bioassay with Photobacterium phosphoreum and macrobenthic community alteration) that provides a single result, the environ...
