A large number of geoscientists worldwide from different disciplines have recognized and
have adopted the 137 Cs method as an effective tracer to assess soil erosion rates during …

This textbook provides an overview of transport and fate processes of environmental
contamination, in such a way that the reader can both understand and predict contaminant …

Topography is one of the key factors affecting soil organic carbon (SOC) distribution and soil
redistribution (erosion or deposition) because it influences the gravity-driven movement of …

The spatial pattern of soil redistribution rate was investigated using cesium-137 (137Cs)
within a cultivated complex hillslope in western Iran. The relationship between soil …

The spatial variability of soil erosion was studied through the use of fallout radionuclides
(FRNs) and geostatistics. The spatial correlation structures of radiocesium (137Cs), soil …

Natural and artificial gamma-emitting radionuclides (238U, 226Ra, 232Th, 210Pb, 40K, and
137Cs) were measured in the soils of a small catchment in the Central Pyrenees, Spain. The …

Mountain wetlands in Mediterranean regions are particularly threatened in agricultural
environments due to anthropogenic activity. An integrated study of source-to-sink sediment …

Caesium-137 derived from nuclear testing in the past century has been widely used as a
sediment tracer of soil redistribution, providing information on medium term (40–50years) …

Of the natural processes that concentrate dispersed environmental contaminants, landscape
fire stands out as having potential to rapidly concentrate contaminants and accelerate their …

The long‐term goal of monitored natural recovery (MNR) is to achieve ecological recovery of
biological endpoints in order to protect human and ecological health. Insofar as ecological …
