Cadmium in topsoils of the Union – ScienceDirect

Using the 21,682 samples from the LUCAS survey, we aim to estimate the spatial distribution of the concentration of Cd in the Union (EU) and UK topsoil. Out of the total, 72.6 % of the samples have Cd values <0.07 mg kg −1 , 21.6 % in the range 0.07–1 mg kg −1 and the remaining 5.5 % higher than the threshold of 1 mg kg ...

By contrast, forestland and other semi-natural vegetation areas experience an overall surplus of sediments which is driven by a re-deposition of sediments eroded from agricultural land. Combining the predicted loss rates with the organic carbon (SOC) stock, we estimate a SOC displacement by water erosion of 14.5 Tg yr −1.
