Abstract Knowledge of arsenic (As) levels in gold (Au) mining areas in the Amazon is critical
for determining environmental risks and the health of the local population, mainly because …

Clay-size mineral is a vital ingredient of soil that influences various environment behaviors. It
is crucial to establish a global distribution map of clay-size minerals to improve the …

Organic fertilizer can improve phosphorus (P) bioavailability, while the mechanism of
microbial-driven clay mineral transformation on P retention and utilization with organic …

The spatial modelling of soil properties provides us with essential and useful information
relevant to soil fertility management and environmental protection. The study aims to …

Clay minerals are intermediate products generated during soil development, and their
neoformation and transformation are closely related to pedogenesis. Here we aimed at …

The soils of the Brazilian Amazon exhibit large geochemical diversity reflecting the different
soil formation processes in an area covering 49% of the Brazilian territory. Soil …

Mercury (Hg) toxicity in soils depends on Hg species and other physical and chemical
attributes, as selenium (Se) hotspots in soils, particularly relevant in Amazonian soils. The …

The behavior of clay minerals in different size fractions of soil colloids are very particular,
mostly in the nanoparticle (25–100 nm) fractions, where clay minerals are very reactive and …

The soil position in the landscape reveals its formation history. Landscapes combine surface
features and subsurface components (parent material) of the earth, at which the soil inserts …

The study aimed to quantify Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Al, Fe, and Mn concentrations in soils due
to cemetery occupation in the Brazilian Amazon in order to assess the potential of …
