“…The SOM values were positively correlated with the available heavy metal contents, reflecting the affinity of these metals for the organic matter in the soil [54][55][56][57]. All the available heavy metal concentrations were positively correlated with pH.…”

Abstract:The characterization of the content of trace metals in soils is an instrument in many programs of environmental protection, including the establishment of regional-level standards to detect sites affected by contamination. The objectives of the present study were to study the available levels of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in surface horizons of agricultural soils in a typical European Mediterranean region, to establish the geochemical for Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn, respectively. Soil properties were found to be correlated with the available heavy metal content, suggesting that the enhanced mobility of heavy metals are related to anthropic activities.

“…When compared with the previous two pathways, agricultural activities are known to be significant non-point sources of heavy metals in the environment [9,10]. Different methods, such as EF and CA, have been widely applied in investigations to identify pollution sources and to apportion natural vs. anthropogenic contributions [11][12][13]. Sedimentation processes usually occur during the subsequent transport of heavy metals from these anthropogenic sources to the surface and ground water [14].…”

a b s t r a c tIn this study, the source and risk associated with heavy metals in the estuarine sediments of Chaohu Lake Valley in East China were studied. The results demonstrated that most metal contents (Cd, Pb and Zn) increased continuously from 0.21, 8.05 and 73.76 mg/kg in the substrate to 0.33, 17.20 and 100.22 mg/kg in the surface sediments on average, respectively, in all ten estuaries evaluated. In addition, the high proportion of chemically reactive forms of Cd (18.10-33.60%) implied a moderately high risk, while the risk associated with Pb and Zn was moderate in most estuaries. Enrichment factor (EF) and cluster analysis (CA) were conducted to assess the metal sources. The EF values of Cd, Pb and Zn (4.96, 3.68 and 2.25, respectively) indicated that they had accumulated in the estuarine sediments. Additionally, CA suggested that their primary sources were anthropogenic, namely the extensive use of fertilizers. Therefore, heavy metal pollution due to agricultural intensification in Chaohu Lake Valley should be taken into account during the formation of valley management strategies for the water environment.

“…Ni had significant positive correlations with Fe oxides, one of the major components of natural soils, suggesting that natural factors control its distribution (Yang et al, 1999). The positive correlations between Cd, Cu, Zn, Pb and soil OM demonstrated the capacity of the organic matter to immobilize metals and minimize their losses (Vega et al, 2004). Heavy metals may be added to certain livestock feeds as supplementary trace elements for health or as growth promoters (Nicholson et al, 2003).…”

To cite this paper: Song, Q., S. Jabeen, I.H. Shamsi, Z. Zhu, X. Liu and P.C. Brookes, 2016. Spatio-temporal variability of heavy metal concentrations in soilrice system and its socio-environmental analysis. was used to provide a survey of variations in soil metal concentrations and then interpreted by consideration of soil properties and socio-economical observations. It was concluded that Zn concentration was related to the rapid development of local industry. The socio-environmental factors explained 43.3% of the variations in metal concentrations in soil. This study demonstrates the situation and accumulating trend of heavy metal concentrations in a soil-rice system caused by intensive human activities in Wenling County.
