Experiments were conducted to compare the affinity and reactivity of three different minerals
for natural organic matter (NOM) in forest floor leachate (FFL) from hardwood and pine …

Changes in surface charge of soil particles that accompany mineral transformations during
soil formation were measured for a humid tropical chronosequence in Hawaiian basalt …

Rare earth elements (REEs) were evaluated as potential tracers of biogeochemical
weathering at pedon, hillslope, and catchment scales in the Jemez River Basin Critical Zone …

Phytostabilization of mine tailings acts to mitigate both eolian dispersion and water erosion
events which can disseminate barren tailings over large distances. This technology uses …

Weathering behavior of kaolinite was studied in batch systems under geochemical conditions
characteristic of tank waste released to the vadose zone at the Hanford Site, WA (0.05 M Al …

Mining of uranium for defense-related purposes has left a substantial legacy of pollution that
threatens human and environmental health. Contaminated waters in the arid southwest are …

Rare earth elements (REY) are the lanthanide elements (Z = 57–71), which have an ever-growing
occurrence in present-day industries, agriculture, and modern life. Consequently, …

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

The anomalously low affinity of yttrium (Y) for iron (Fe) (oxyhydr)oxides relative to lanthanides
with similar ionic radius (eg, Ho) has been demonstrated in experiments with isolated Fe …

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