Factors affecting metal mobilisation during oxidation of sulphidic, sandy wetland substrates [PDF]
, 2010 Most metals accumulate as sulphides under anoxic conditions in wetland substrates, reducing their bioavailability due to the solubility of metal sulphides. However, upon oxidation of these sulphides when the substrate is occasionally oxidised, metals can
