Metals in soil are potentially harmful to humans and ecosystems. Stable isotope
measurement may provide “fingerprint” information on the sources of metals. In light of the …

The new EU regulation on cadmium (Cd) in cacao-derived products affects the cacao market
worldwide. Here, we reviewed the journey of Cd from soil to chocolate bar and collated …

Barium (Ba) mining and smelting activities release heavy metal (loid) s (HMs) that may
cause threats to agroecological systems and human health. Here, contamination features …

Cadmium (Cd) stable isotopes provide a novel technique to investigate the fate of Cd in the
environment, but challenges exist for tracing the sources in the plants. We performed …

Abstract Initial Cadmium (Cd) isotope fractionation studies in cereals ascribed the retention
of Cd and its light isotopes to the binding of Cd to sulfur (S). To better understand the relation …

The drainage of rice soils increases Cd solubility and results in high Cd concentrations in
rice grains. However, plant Cd uptake is limited by sorption to iron plaques, and Cd …

Rice roots and leaves were exposed to cadmium (Cd)-contaminated particles in a
greenhouse to modify the fractionation during Cd uptake and transport in the plants by using …

Cadmium (Cd) isotopes are known to fractionate during complexation with various
environmentally relevant surfaces and ligands. Our results, which were obtained using (i) …

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 …

Analysis of stable metal isotopes can provide important information on biogeochemical
processes in the soil–plant system. Here, we conducted a repeated phytoextraction …
