Minerals are widely assumed to protect organic matter (OM) from degradation in the
environment, promoting the persistence of carbon in soil and sediments. In this Review, we …

The increasing use of rare earth elements (REEs) in various industries has led to a rise in
discharge points, thus increasing discharge rates, circulation, and human exposure …

Minerals and organic matter (OM) may form intricate associations via myriad interactions. In
soils, the associations of OM with mineral surfaces are mainly investigated because of their …

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 …

Paddy soils make up the largest anthropogenic wetlands on earth. They may originate from
any type of soil in pedological terms, but are highly modified by anthropogenic activities. The …

Studying the response of streamwater chemistry to changes in discharge can provide
valuable insights into how catchments store and release water and solutes. Previous studies …

Heavy metals and metalloids in soils are derived from the soil parent material (lithogenic
source) and various anthropogenic sources, most of which involve several metal (loid) s …

This review aims at considering the use of REEs to trace pedogenetic processes, in order to
quantify the respective contribution of the successive processes on pedogenesis. We first …

An automated biogeochemical microcosm system allowing the control of redox potential
(EH) in soil suspensions was used to assess the effect of EH on the mobility of cadmium …

The investigation of chemical speciation of primary toxic metal (loid) s (Cd, Pb, and As) in
soil profile in nonferrous metal smelting site is a key to the assessment of their mobility …
