Description 137-140
Organic matter in different environments of Cauvery Delta, Karnataka, India both in bulk samples and clay fractions has been estimated. Clay fractions of the marine sediments have the highest organic matter (av. 3.51%) and the river clays have the lowest (av. 1.44%). Organic matter in bulk samples ranges from 0.14 to 3.68% and in clay fractions from 0.7 to 5.97%. Organic matter in the bulk sediments generally follows the distribution pattern of the sediments, finer the texture greater the organic matter, and the highest average percentage of organic matter 2.5 is observed in the mangrove sediments where the sediments are muddy and sandy mud in nature. Planktonic bloom and dense vegetation also favour the richness of organic matter in most of the environments.
