Abstract
In the transition from fresh water to seawater, sudden changes in the chemical environment promote a variety of reactions that control the geochemical cycle of trace elements in coastal waters and estuaries. Notable among these is the desorption of trace metals from suspended particles brought about by the increase in ionic strength and the competitive sorption of alkaline earth cations. -from Authors
