Phosphorus (P) is a major element required for biological activity in terrestrial ecosystems.
Although the total P content in most soils can be large, only a small fraction is available or in …

This research was conducted to evaluate the utilization of magnetic susceptibility
measurements in the assessment of metal concentrations in soils developed on a range of …

Mineral weathering transforms rock into soils that supply nutrients to ecosystems, store
terrestrial carbon, and provide habitat for organisms. As a result, the mineralogy and …

A better understanding of the mobility of chemical elements during weathering and leaching
processes requires the complete analysis of soil profiles down to the bedrock, especially in …

Weathering is the process by which a solid breaks up into its building blocks when in
thermodynamic disequilibrium with the surrounding environment. Weathering plays an …

The sedimentary basins of Recôncavo and Tucano, Bahia, represent the most important
Brazilian Phanerozoic continental basin system, formed during fracturing of Gondwana. The …

Abstract The Middle Triassic Tredian Formation is well exposed in the western region of the
Salt Range. It is mostly composed of sandstone with minor alternations of shales and …

Earthenware pottery making, a major occupation among rural dwellers in southern
Botswana, has been one of the mainstay of their economy for centuries. Consequently, local …

The effects of parent rock types on soil evolution in arid areas were studied in a sequence of
soils, derived from different lithologies in the Kopet Dagh basin (Northeastern Iran) using …

This investigation was directed to explore the impacts of Lecanora Ach.(1809) on magnetic
susceptibility, some chemical properties, and heavy metals concentration in the interfaces …
