Cadmium is a non-essential trace metal, which is highly toxic to nearly all living organisms.
Soil pollution causes Cd contamination of crops, thereby rendering plant products …

Recently a dilute nitric acid extraction (0.43 M) was adopted by ISO (ISO-17586: 2016) as
standard for extraction of geochemically reactive elements in soil and soil like materials …

The interactions of soil components have profound impacts on the speciation, bioavailability
and transformation of heavy metals. However, these interactions have not been well …

An accurate model to predict Cd accumulation in crops based on soil properties would
facilitate evaluations of soil quality and the potential risk posed by metals. However, given …

Soil system properties control the fate of essential Zn and toxic Cd, which can have
pervasive influences on ecosystem health. However, direct evidence of the spatial …

Multi-surface modelling (MSM) is an important tool to predict heavy metal partitioning and
speciation in soils. However, calcareous clay soils contaminated by smelting activities and …

Environmental Geochemistry: Site Characterization, Data Analysis and Case Histories,
Second Edition, reviews the role of geochemistry in the environment and details state-of-the …

Relative to total cadmium (Cd) content, bioavailable Cd in paddy soil is regarded as a more
reasonable indicator for the risk of Cd bioaccumulation in rice. However, there is still a lack …

The prediction of metal bioavailability in soils is critical to metal risk assessments and the
amount of dissolved metal in soils is a key factor determining bioavailability. Because the …

The effects of the native species Amynthas morrisi and the composting earthworm Eisenia
fetida were evaluated on the forms of Zn, Cd, Pb and Cu in a long-term contaminated …
