Assessing the effects of heavy metals and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on benthic foraminifera: The case of Houshui and Yangpu Bays, Hainan Island, China

This work aimed to investigate the distribution of benthic foraminiferal assemblages in Houshui and Yangpu Bays, Hainan Island, and assess the relative effects of heavy metals, total organic carbon (TOC), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) on foraminiferal assemblages. A total of 30 sites w...
