Chromium (Cr) is a toxic heavy metal that is heavily discharged into the soil environment
due to its widespread use and mining. High Cr levels may pose toxic hazards to plants …

Chromium (Cr) is a highly toxic element, which is widely present in environment due to
industrial activities. One of most applicable technique to clean up Cr pollution is chemical …

Cr (VI) from oxidation of geogenic Cr (III) minerals is gradually becoming the primary source
of Cr (VI) in soils and groundwater instead of direct emissions. Thermodynamically, natural …

Ultramafic outcrops could represent up to 3% or more of the terrestrial surface and their
unusual geochemistry makes them a global hotspot for biodiversity. Ultramafic soils are a …

Abstract Background New Caledonia is renowned as one of the world's most significant
biodiversity hotpots. The nutrient-deficiency and cations imbalances of ultramafic soils …

Chromium speciation in naturally contaminated soils appears more complex than spiked
studies have shown. This study characterized Cr speciation (oxidation states; availability; …

Basalt-derived soils are widespread worldwide. Such soils contain high levels of heavy
metals like chromium (Cr), which is a serious environmental concern. However, little is …

Changes in Ni speciation in a 64m vertical profile of a New Caledonian saprolitic–lateritic
regolith developed over ultramafic rocks under tropical weathering conditions were …

Although Ni isotopes have been shown to be significantly fractionated in terrestrial samples,
their use in continental environmental studies has not yet been evaluated. The present study …

The transformation of trace metals (TMs) in natural environmental systems has created
significant concerns in recent decades. Ultramafic environments lead to potential risks to the …
