文摘

Physical, chemical and organic pollution are distinguished as dominant stressors. Sediment contaminant concentrations reflect chronic to acute ecosystem impacts. Two benthic foraminiferal assemblages were distinguished reflecting main stressors. Organic pollution resulted in no living and low number fossilized tests. The assemblage from an un-impacted reference site shows natural harsh conditions.
