To characterize the magnetic signature of sediment heavy metal contamination and identify sources of heavy metals in mangroves, 83 sediment specimens were collected from three mangroves in Fujian, China; various magnetic parameters and heavy metal concentrations were then determined. Variation in magnetic magnetization among specimens was linked to changes in pseudo-single-domain magnetite. Average values of Co, Cu, Ni, and Zn (but not Cr or Pb) were slightly lower than background levels. Geochemical evidence suggested that Co, Cr, Ni, Ti, and V were associated with lithogenic minerals in the sediment, while Cu, Pb, and Zn were associated with terrigenous minerals. A strong positive correlation was seen between magnetic concentration-dependent parameters and metal concentrations (Cu, Pb, and Zn), suggesting enrichment of metal-containing magnetic minerals with heavy metal pollution. The combined assessment of both sediment magnetic properties and heavy metal concentrations thus provides insight into the pollution status of mangrove sediments under complex conditions.
