Studies on the physico-chemical analysis of Pichavaram Mangroves, Tamilnadu, India

The present study is aimed to analyse the physico-chemical parameters in two stations of Pichavaram mangroves. In the present study the physico-chemical parameters such as temperature, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen and total dissolved solids were analysed during 2009. The station was selected for the present study (Station-1: Agricultural land and Station-2: Mud flats). The temperature, pH and salinity were increased during summer season and dissolved oxygen and total dissolved solids were lowered in summer season.
