Understanding the bioavailability of selenium (Se) in the soil–plant system plays a vital role
in phytoremediation and agronomic biofortification strategies. This review aimed to (a) …

Metalloid tellurium is characterized as a chemical element belonging to the chalcogen group
without known biological function. However, its compounds, especially the oxyanions, exert …

Upland and paddy soils, as well as corn samples, were collected in the selenosis area of
Naore Village, Ziyang County, Shaanxi Province, China. A five-step sequential extraction …

The distribution of Mo between seawater and marine ferromanganese oxides has great
impacts on concentration and isotopic composition of Mo in modern oxic seawater. To reveal …

Aging refers to the processes by which the mobility and bioavailability of metals in soil
decline with time. Although long-term aging is a key process that needs to be considered in …

The tungsten (W) species in marine ferromanganese oxides were investigated by
wavelength dispersive XAFS method. We found that the W species are in distorted Oh …

Selenium (Se) speciation in soil is critically important for understanding the solubility,
mobility, bioavailability, and toxicity of Se in the environment. In this study, Se fractionation …

The distribution and chemical species of tellurium (Te) in contaminated soil were determined
by a combination of microfocused X-ray fluorescence (μ-XRF), X-ray diffraction (μ-XRD), and …

Environmental context Tellurium, a chemical element increasingly being used in new
technologies, is an emerging contaminant. Our understanding of tellurium's environmental …

Mercury (Hg) isotopes, which display mass-dependent fractionation and mass-independent
fractionation, provide a multidimensional tracer to decipher the source of metals in mineral …
