Urban soils have been changed much by human impacts in terms of structure, composition
and use. This review paper gives a general introduction into changes from compaction …

Soil heavy metal contamination results in both huge economic loss and severe health
problem. Many technologies, such as soil stabilization/solidification, soil excavation, soil …

The impact of human-mediated environmental change on the evolutionary trajectories of
wild organisms is poorly understood. In particular, capacity of species to adapt rapidly (in …

Concentrations of seven metals were measured in over 1000 samples as part of an
integrated survey. Sixteen metal pairs were significantly positively correlated. Cluster …

The uptake of trace elements by wild herbaceous plants in a multiple trace element-
contaminated site was investigated. The bioaccumulation factor (BF) of trace elements was …

The spatial distribution of potentially toxic metals (PTMs) has been shown to be related to
anthropogenic activities. Several auxiliary variables, such as those related to remote …

This review focusses on the transfers of metals and metalloids from soil to food and feed,
based mostly on UK information. Published information on the behaviour of a number of …

In recent years the quest for a circular economy approach and the upcycling of secondary
raw materials have been pushed in the global political agenda. Increased interest has been …

Objectives: Anthropogenic exposures to rare earth elements are poorly known and there is
limited information on their toxicity and ecotoxicity. At the same time, world production of rare …

Metal contamination, as a consequence of anthropogenic activities, poses threat to plants
and their ecosystems. Plants growing on metal-contaminated soils show severe aberration …
