Description 1815-1824
Level of occurrence and characteristics of some important edaphic components were studied in the intertidal surface sediments from core mangrove forest of Sundarbans in a comprehensive way for the first time. Sediments were characterized to be dominated by finer particles of silt and clay with moderate to high carbon content (0.40 - 2.76%), low cation exchange capacity (average of 11.10 me100 g-1), low available nitrogen (about 10% of total nitrogen), high salt content with alkaline nature (pH, 7.5 – 8.2) and well supply of easily available form of phosphorous (17.75 - 57.0 mg.kg-1as P2O5) and potassium (12.7-22.5 meq.100g-1). Statistical analysis revealed that clay deposition was favored at high pH (p
