“…When it is above 1, there should be another source besides the natural input. Atmospheric deposition of Cd was usually considered as the major source to the soil profile (Takamatsu et al 2010;Sakata et al 2006;Outridge et al 2005;Poikolainen et al 2004;Čeburnis and Steinnes 2000). The atmospheric Cd was considered to be related with human activity such as smelting, burning of fossil fuels, and other industries (http://www.astdr.cdc.gov/csem/ cadmium/cdwhere_found.html).…”

“…Toxic substances, particularly heavy metals, were the main interest, since they affect the human health directly via ingestion (particularly for children) and inhalation 12–14 or indirectly via entering food chain and waters 7, 12. Anthropogenic‐derived pollutants enter soil via wet/dry deposition from the atmosphere 4, 15, 16, fertilizer/pesticide applications and irrigation with wastewater at agricultural sites 12 or direct discharge of industrial wastewater effluents. Soil elemental composition is determined by the contributions of from natural structure ( i.e.…”

The top-soil samples were collected from urban, industrial, agricultural, and rural sites to investigate the modification in the elemental composition due to anthropogenic influence in one of the biggest city of Turkey, namely Izmir. The elemental profiles were dominated by lithophilic elements such as Al, Ca, Fe, Mg, K, and sea salt element, Na, which is typical for Mediterranean region. The trace elemental concentrations showed significant variation with higher concentrations in the industrial sites, particularly in the vicinity of iron-steel producers from scrap materials (EAF-Steels). Lead, Zn, and Cd around EAF-Steels were found to be higher than other sites. Comparison to universal upper crusts and local reference soil has shown that Izmir top-soils were contaminated in terms of many trace elements, most probably due to anthropogenic activities. Correlation matrix, crustal enrichment factors, and factor analysis were applied to investigate the extent of soil modification and possible sources. The results indicated that the elemental profiles of top-soils were mainly determined by parent materials; however, anthropogenic activities were found to be factor effective on the profile.

“…Many practices, such as mining, industry, agriculture, waste treatment, and transportation, have a detrimental effect on the quantity and quality of soil organic matter, which in turn affects soil physical, chemical, and biochemical properties, especially the soil elements (Takamatsu et al 2010;Caravaca et al 2002;Kelepertsis et al 2001;Alexakis and Gamvroula 2014;de Miguel et al 2012;Ye et al 2014). As the main elements supporting life on earth system, the C, N, P, S cycles in soil have been altered by human activity through land-use change, agricultural intensification, and use of fossil fuels (Vitousek et al 1997;Matson and Vitousek 2006;Stevenson et al 2010;Song and Liu 2013;Liu et al 2012).…”

The development and formation of chemical elements in soil are affected not only by parent material, climate, biology, and topology factors, but also by human activities. As the main elements supporting life on earth system, the C, N, P, S cycles in soil have been altered by human activity through land-use change, agricultural intensification, and use of fossil fuels. The present study attempts to analyze whether and how a connection can be made between macroscopical control and microcosmic analysis, to estimate the impacts of human activities on C, N, P, S elements in soil, and to determine a way to describe the spatial relationship between C, N, P, S in soil and human activities, by means of landscape geochemical theories and methods. In addition, the disturbances of human activities on C, N, P, S are explored through the analysis of the spatial relationship between human disturbed landscapes and element anomalies, thereby determining the diversified rules of the effects. The study results show that the rules of different landscapes influencing C, N, P, S elements are diversified, and that the C element is closely related to city landscapes; furthermore, the elements N, P, and S are shown to be closely related to river landscapes; the relationships between mine landscapes and the elements C, N, P, S are apparent; the relationships between the elements C, N, P, S and road landscapes are quite close, which shows that road landscapes have significant effects on these elements. Therefore, the conclusion is drawn that the response mechanism analysis of human disturbance and soil chemical element aggregation is feasible, based on the landscape geochemical theories and methods. The spatial information techniques, such as remote sensing and geographic information systems, are effective for research on soil element migration.
