Cadmium in topsoils of the European Union - An analysis based on LUCAS topsoil database.
Science of the Total Environment, 2023 Cadmium (Cd) is a naturally occurring element that can accumulate in the soil through the application of fertilisers containing cadmium and as a waste of industrial processes.

Spatial assessment of topsoil zinc concentrations in Europe.
Science of the Total Environment, 2023 Zinc (Zn) is essential to sustain crop production and human health, while it can be toxic when present in excess. In this manuscript, we applied a machine learning model on 21,682 soil samples from the Land Use and Coverage Area frame Survey (LUCAS ...

A spatial assessment of mercury content in the European Union topsoil
Science of the Total Environment, 2021 Mapping of surface soil Hg concentrations, a priority pollutant, at continental scale is important in order to identify hotspots of soil Hg distribution (e.g. mining or industrial pollution) and identify factors that influence soil Hg concentrations (e.g.

Global biogeography of fungal and bacterial biomass carbon in topsoil
Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 2020 Bacteria and fungi, representing two major soil microorganism groups, play an important role in global nutrient biogeochemistry. Biogeographic patterns of bacterial and fungal biomass are of fundamental importance for mechanistically understanding ...

Macro- and microscale gaseous diffusion in a Stagnic Luvisol as affected by compaction and reduced tillage [PDF]
, 2008 Intensification of mechanical agriculture has increased the risk for soil compaction and deformation. Simultaneously, reduced tillage practices have become popular due to energy saving and environmental concerns, as they may strengthen and improve the ...

Phase Composition of Urban Soils by X-Ray Diffraction and Mössbauer Spectroscopy Analysis [PDF]
Archives of Metallurgy and Materials, 2019 The main purpose of this study was to identify the mineral composition of soil sample taken from the upper layer of topsoil. High absorption of chemical substance is a characteristic for humus-organic layer of topsoil. The source of those substance could

Carbon mineralization and microbial activity in agricultural topsoil and subsoil as regulated by root nitrogen and recalcitrant carbon concentrations [PDF]
, 2018 Aims Mechanisms of subsoil carbon sequestration from deep-rooted plants are elusive, but may contribute to climate change mitigation. This study addressed the role of root chemistry on carbon mineralization and microbiology in a temperate agricultural ...

Modeling the phosphorus balance of different soilsusing the 4M crop model
Plant, Soil and Environment, 2012 Our study focuses on the phosphorus (P) balance in two long-term fertilization experiments which were carried out in characteristic soils of Hungary with four fertilization treatments and four main crops. The objectives of this study are: (1) to quantify
