Abstract:The solid-phase speciation of metals plays a crucial role in determining their bioavailability in aquatic ecosystems. The interactions of metals with metal (hydr)oxides, sulfides, clays, and organic matter govern their availability in subsurface environments. Our study combined solid−water partitioning experiments under anaerobic conditions (97% N 2 and 3% H 2 ) for 24 h and synchrotron-based spectroscopy to determine the factors controlling copper, nickel, and zinc availability in soils and sediments from thr… Show more
