The COVID-19 era has profoundly affected everyday human life, the environment, and
freshwater ecosystems worldwide. Despite the numerous influences, a strict COVID-19 …

Urban soil is the “memory” of cities, as the sequence of deposited materials originates from
the various stages of a city's life cycle, through a complex process of urban soil …

The GEMAS (geochemical mapping of agricultural soil) project collected 2108 Ap horizon
soil samples from regularly ploughed fields in 33 European countries, covering 5.6 million …

The gradient boosting decision tree is a well-known machine learning algorithm. Despite
numerous advancements in its application, its efficiency still needs to be improved for large …

Delimiting exploration targets using geochemical exploration data can be a challenging
issue when different geochemical signatures represent the same deposit-type sought. In this …

Abstract We present 87 Sr/86 Sr isotope ratios for~ 1200 selected soil samples, collected by
the GEMAS consortium from grazing (Gr) and agricultural (Ap) soils in Europe with the aim to …

Most data in environmental sciences and geochemistry are compositional. Already the unit
used to report the data (eg, μg/l, mg/kg, wt%) implies that the analytical results for each …

Understanding urban soil geochemistry is a challenging task because of the complicated
layering of the urban landscape and the profound impact of large cities on the chemical …

Geochemical data are typical compositional data which should be opened prior to univariate
and multivariate data analysis. In this study, a frequency-based method (robust principal …

Six wild edible mushroom species, Agaricus bisporus, A. bitorquis, A. gennadii, Coprinus
comatus, Psathyrella candolleana and Volvopluteus gloiocephalus, were collected from the …
