Copper, a native metal found in ores, is the principal metal in bronze and brass. It is a
reddish metal with a density of 8920 kg m− 3. All of copper's compounds tend to be brightly …

Aims Recent advances in mass spectrometry have demonstrated that higher plants
discriminate stable Zn isotopes during uptake and translocation depending on …

The oceanic biogeochemical cycles of the transition metals have been eliciting considerable
attention for some time. Many of them have isotope systems that are fractionated by key …

This paper reports the values of reduced partition function ratios (as 1000 ln β) for Fe, Ni, Cu,
and Zn bound to a number of inorganic and organic ligands. We used Density Functional …

Dynamic behaviors of the newly deposited atmospheric heavy metals in the soil-pak choi
(Brassica chinensis L.) system are investigated by a fully factorial atmospheric exposure …

Isotope ratios of heavy elements vary on the 1/10000 level in high temperature materials,
providing a fingerprint of the processes behind their origin. Ensuring that the measured …

Stable isotopic systematics of Cu and Fe are two important tracers for geological and
biological processes. Generally, separation of Cu and Fe from a matrix was achieved by two …

Analyses of stable metal isotope ratios constitute a novel tool in order to improve our
understanding of biogeochemical processes in soil–plant systems. In this study, we used …

The fractionation of stable copper (C u) isotopes during uptake into plant roots and
translocation to shoots can provide information on C u acquisition mechanisms. Isotope …

This work critically reviews stable isotope fractionation of essential (B, Mg, K, Ca, Fe, Ni, Cu,
Zn, Mo), beneficial (Si), and non-essential (Cd, Tl) metals and metalloids in plants. The …
