The concentrations of U in natural waters are usually low, being typically less than 4 μg/L in
river water, around 3.3 μg/L in open seawater, and usually less than 5 μg/L in groundwater …

Background Soil organic matter (SOM) supports multiple soil ecosystem functions,
underpinned by processes such as C sequestration, N mineralization, aggregation …

Vanadium is a metal that receives increasing attention due to its possible toxicity and its
increased use in society, ie in high-grade steel and in vanadium redox-flow batteries …

To study the structure and function of soil organic matter, soil scientists have performed
alkali extractions for soil humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA) fractions for more than 200 …

Each year ecotoxicological problems become increasingly complex and encompass
broader spatial and temporal scales. Our practical understanding must evolve accordingly to …

The last two decades have seen a rise in the development of lanthanum (III)-containing
materials (LM) for controlling phosphate in the aquatic environment.> 70 papers have been …

Many factors influence metal speciation in freshwaters. Metal species that are more soluble
are considered more bioavailable and toxic. However, evaluation of metal speciation in …

Long-term organic fertilizer (OF) application on agricultural soils is known to induce soil Cu
