This review is from: Trace Elements in Soils and Plants, Third Edition (Hardcover)
This single volume tabulates each chemical element in terms of its concentrations in soils of various specified types, including podzols, chernozems, histosols, solonchaks, and many others. The elements thus surveyed include Rb, Cu, Be, Sr, Ba, Zn, Cd, B, Ga, Sc, Sn, Pb, Ti, As, Sb, Va, Se, Cr, Mb, F, Br, I, Mn, and Co. Similar data is included on element concentrations in various plants, and in rocks according to type. Coverage is biased towards the northern hemisphere, where, of course, most studies have been made to this date.
The mobility of various ions, as a function of soil pH, is graphed. So is the ratio of concentration of elements in soil relative to their counterparts in the lithosphere. Although this is not a book about rare earth elements (REEs), it contains a treasure trove of information relative to them. Information is given about the concentrations of REEs in rocks of various stated compositions, expressed in terms of ranges that are commonly encountered. There is also data on concentrations of lanthanides in soils of various stated types, and in terrestrial plant species. |
