Abstract
The present study was carried out to determine the physico- chemical characteristics of sediments samples collected from mangrove ecosystem and artificial saltpan environment of Kattumavadi, Southeast coast of India. The mangrove and salt pan located at kattumavadi is an unexplored area with unique ecological niches and rich in biodiversity. The physico chemical parameters play a vital role in the mangrove ecosystems. The studies revealed that totally 8 sediments samples were collected from mangrove and saltpan and analysed for the nature of the sediments samples include texture, physico chemical properties and biological properties. The study reveal that the well structured mangrove sediments have more density of the actinomycetes.
