– A review

This review provides a summary of studies analysing metal concentrations in soils and solution at roadsides. The data collected during 27 studies covering a total of 64 sites across a number of countries were summarised. Highest median values of Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn were determined in the top layer at the first 5 m ...

Accuracy in assessing the distribution of (SOC) is an important issue because of playing key roles in the functions of both natural ecosystems and agricultural systems. There are several studies in the literature with the aim of finding the best method to assess and map the distribution of SOC content for . Therefore this study aims searching for another aspect of ...

where SOC is the organic carbon content of the spatially explicit topsoil layer (Mg ha −1 in the 0–30 cm) computed for (1 km grid cell resolution) (Lugato et al., 2016), SL is the net loss estimated by WaTEM/SEDEM (Mg ha −1 yr −1), BD is the bulk density (Mg m 3) derived from the topsoil physical properties map at ...
