“…The REE‐bearing rocks occur in bentonites and clayey‐silty shales. Thus, mineral composition and specific microtextures indicate hydrological activity in the Wiśniówka Depositional basin during Late Cambrian times (Migaszewski et al, 2009; Migaszewski & Gałuszka, 2019).…”

“…The oldest petrographic zone is composed of sedimentary intraclast‐supported pyrite cement. The partly framboidal pyrite typically includes many arsenic‐rich minerals (Migaszewski & Gałuszka, 2019). Apart from the natural, geological presence of arsenic compounds, enrichment of light sulfur isotopes has been recorded (Migaszewski et al, 2009; Migaszewski & Gałuszka, 2019).…”

Functional ecosystem parameters: Soil respiration and diversity of mite (Acari, Mesostigmata) communities after disturbance in a Late Cambrian bedrock environment

We analyzed the changes in ecosystem functions (soil respiration and Mesostigmata mite abundance, species richness and diversity) on various habitats after flooding by highly mineralized and acidic drainage water with fine As-rich pyrite sediments, on a fragment of a natural ecosystem. In total, 177 plots that represented six types of habitats (undisturbed: pine mixed forests, Salix spp. thickets, Juncus effusus communities, wet meadows, and disturbed: bare ground and dead Salix spp. thickets) were sampled twice, in June 2019 and September 2020. Our study revealed that flooding affected essential ecosystem parameters, such as soil Mesostigmata mite abundance, species richness and diversity, and soil respiration, via an extreme decrease of soil pH. In total, 968 mites were collected from pooled data from the two samplings. Mite abundance, species richness and diversity were mainly shaped by habitat type and soil pH, and partially by soil respiration. These parameters were lower in disturbed habitats (bare ground and dead Salix spp. thickets) as compared with undisturbed ones. The highest mean mite density was recorded from mixed forests (4750 ± 600 ind. m À2 ) and wet meadows (2678 ± 361 ind. m À2 ), whereas the lowest in bare ground (449 ± 113 ind. m À2 ) and dead Salix spp. thickets (537 ± 146 ind. m À2 ). We noticed that mite diversity may be helpful to predict future changes in the physicochemical parameters of soils in disturbed areas. The vegetation patches built up by species adapted to grow in habitats characterized by relatively high metal and metalloid content (J. effusus and Salix spp.) represent an intermediate state of function of ecosystems in the study area.arsenic waters, biotic and abiotic soil parameters, fine As-rich pyrite geological deposits, flooding, plant communities, vegetation types | INTRODUCTIONSuccession and disturbance processes play a significant role in shaping the structure of individual populations, vegetation assemblages, and the processes and function of whole ecosystems (Chipps et al., 2006;

Stable Sulfur and Oxygen Isotope Compositions of Sulfates to Disentangle Agrocontaminants from Other Sources of Sulfur in Agrosystems

Tracing the Sources and Fate of Contaminants in Agroecosystems

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This chapter summarizes key information about the sulfur cycle and stable sulfur isotope biogeochemistry. The overview includes a description of the range of the stable sulfur isotope compositions in natural environments, potential pollutants and fertilizers used in agriculture. The primary focus is on the generation, transport, and mixing of sulfate and on its stable sulfur and oxygen isotope compositions that can be used as tracers. Several case studies that apply stable sulfate isotope analyses for the identification and quantification of pollutants in natural environments are used to provide an overview of successful applications and highlight major challenges. These are followed by the principles of sulfate sampling and analytical techniques.

This overview presents the updated physicochemical characteristics of thallium and its stable isotopes (205Tl/203Tl) in the context of their occurrence and fate in abiotic and biotic systems. This also deals with the thallium behavior in geochemical interactions in and between different environmental compartments and describes its natural (geogenic) and industrial sources. The particular emphasis is placed on some extreme environments, including acid mine drainage areas where oxidation processes of Tl-bearing pyrite and other sulfides lead to very high concentrations of this metal in reactive acidic waters. Many geochemical studies have also employed stable thallium isotopes to reconstruct redox conditions in different environmental systems, to fingerprint relative pollution source strengths and to evaluate mobility of this element and its geochemical interactions in the mineral-water and soil–plant systems. This is the reason why this overview also highlights the growing potential of stable Tl isotopes in solving different geologic and environmental issues. Graphic abstract
