Abstract:
... Organic wastes, fertilizers, organominerals, and minerals contain nutrients essential to crops and contribute to increase productivity. However their use can also lead to the accumulation of copper and zinc, which changes the distribution of their fractions and enhances the risk of toxicity to plants and the environment, thereby working against the sustainable development goals. However, the effec ...

Abstract:
... Investigating environmental processes, especially those occurring in soils, calls for innovative and multidisciplinary technologies that can provide insights at the microscale. The heterogeneity, opacity, and dynamics make the soil a “black box” where interactions and processes are elusive. Recently, microfluidics has emerged as a powerful research platform and experimental tool which can create a ...

Although the re-use of graveyards differs from one country, region or time period to another, over time, graveyard soil may become contaminated or enriched with heavy metal elements. This paper presents heavy metal element soil analysis from two UK church graveyard study sites with contrasting necrosols, but similar burial de ...

Abstract:
... The high variation of raw laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) caused by soil heterogeneity seriously reduces the accuracy and stability of the spectral analysis. Therefore, the conventional chemometrics for spectral analysis requires seeking an appropriate spectral preprocessing by a trial-and-error method before modeling, which resulted in a mutable performance. To settle this problem, th ...
