In the context of global warming, environmental forcing of wildfires on continental
ecosystems is on a growing trend. Among other environmental impacts, wildfires can …

In the context of global warming, wildfires are expected to increase in both frequency and
intensity in the forthcoming decades. Among the environmental and ecological wildfires …

Despite high chromium concentrations in soils developed on ultramafic rocks, Cr availability
is generally low, as Cr-bearing minerals are considered stable in supergene conditions …

The effective influence of industry or ultramafic rocks by natural processes to soil, plants and
groundwater contamination by chromium, which is often a subject of debate, was …

Hexavalent chromium is one of the most toxic and carcinogenic species known and can be
released into the environment from several sources. In Sarigkiol basin (N Greece) the …

Water contamination by geogenic hexavalent chromium is an emerging issue in areas
developed on ultramafic rocks and their weathering products. In this study, samples of …

We here report the chemical composition of (a) Fe–Ni laterite ores from central and northern
Greece and bauxite ores from Parnassos-Ghiona deposit,(b) the corresponding high volume …

The hydrogeochemical processes and natural background levels (NBLs) of chromium in the
ultramafic environment of Vermio Mountain, Western Macedonia, Greece, were studied …

Iron oxides are important pedogenic Cr (III)-bearing phases which experience high-
temperature alteration via fire-induced heating of surface soil. In this study, we examine if …

Weathering of outcrops of ultramafic rocks (remnants of ancient oceanic crust) is a source of
biologically toxic trace elements, particularly first row transition elements. The Cr and Ni …
