Rare Earth Element Contents in Soil Samples Collected from the Zone between Burdur and Isparta and the Assessment of Their Origin and Geochemical Properties

Abstract

This study was carried out in 5 locations between Burdur and Isparta in the inner southern part of Isparta Bend. The study aims to determine the rare earth element (REE) concentrations in the soil samples collected from the field and to interpret the origin of the high concentrations detected. In this context, a total of 104 samples were collected from Canakli Village (19 samples), Cobanisa Village (34 samples), Kuyubasi Village (17 samples), Kuzca Village (17 samples), and Yilanli Village (17 samples) in the study field. The average ∑REE
