Lake Respomuso is a dammed lake of glacial origin at 2200 m altitude in the Central Pyrenees.
This study investigated the source of a number of trace elements (As, Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, …

Rock colonization by plant roots and their associated microbiota is one of the major drivers
of mineral weathering, nutrient cycling, soil formation and ecosystem stability. Yet the …

The rare earth elements (REE) are increasingly important in a variety of science and economic
fields, including (bio)geosciences, paleoecology, astrobiology, and mining. However, …

Lithogenic trace element (TE) patterns of distribution, fate, and behavior in soils are influenced
by plants and microorganisms. Our controlled mesocosm experiments quantified how …

Predatory aquatic beetles are common colonizers of natural and managed aquatic environments.
While as important components of the aquatic food webs they are prone to accumulate …

Mineral weathering is a balanced interplay among physical, chemical, and biological processes.
Fundamental knowledge gaps exist in characterizing the biogeochemical mechanisms …

Ecosystem-bedrock interactions power the biogeochemical cycles of Earth’s shallow crust,
supporting life, stimulating substrate transformation, and spurring evolutionary innovation. …

Manmade climate change has expressed a plethora of complex effects on Earth's
biogeochemical compartments. Climate change may also affect the mobilisation of natural metal …

Weathering is the process by which a solid breaks up into its building blocks when in
thermodynamic disequilibrium with the surrounding environment. Weathering plays an important …

In low nutrient alpine lakes, the littoral zone is the most productive part of the ecosystem, and
it is a biodiversity hotspot. It is not entirely clear how the scale and physical heterogeneity of …
