Journal ArticleDOI
Transfer of heavy metals through terrestrial food webs: a review
TL;DR: This review gathers studies of the community-level effects of heavy metal pollution, including heavy metal transfer from soils to plants, microbes, invertebrates, and to both small and large mammals (including humans).
Book ChapterDOI
The geochemistry of acid mine drainage
David W. Blowes,Carol J. Ptacek,John L. Jambor,Christopher G. Weisener,Dogan Paktunc,W.D. Gould,D.B. Johnson +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and applied molecular tools to determine the activity and role of microorganisms in sulfide-mineral-bearing systems and developed tools for assessing the toxicity of mine-waste effluent.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of studies performed to assess metal uptake by earthworms.
TL;DR: There is a need for more studies on earthworm species other than Eisenia fetida in order to apply the large existing database on this earthworm to other, soil dwelling species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Copper distribution in European topsoils: An assessment based on LUCAS soil survey
Cristiano Ballabio,Panos Panagos,Emanuele Lugato,Jen-How Huang,Alberto Orgiazzi,Arwyn Jones,Oihane Fernández-Ugalde,Pasquale Borrelli,Luca Montanarella +8 more
TL;DR: Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) combined with kriging were used to map copper concentration in topsoils and to evidence the presence of outliers, highlighting the influence of land management practices in copper concentration and the strong correlation between topsoil copper and vineyards.

Metal speciation and bioavailability in aquatic systems
André Tessier,David R. Turner +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the Free-Ion Activity Model (FIAM) was used to model the relationship between trace metals and aquatic organisms, and the results showed that metal toxicity in aquatic organisms can be predicted from bioassays.
Book
Ecotoxicology of Metals in Invertebrates
TL;DR: Rainbow and Dallinger as discussed by the authors studied the effect of trace metals in marine invertebrates and found that metal contamination affects survival, biocaccumulation, Histopathology, and PGM polymorphism in the Marine Isopod Idotea Baltica.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equilibrium partitioning of heavy metals in Dutch field soils. I. Relationship between metal partition coefficients and soil characteristics
TL;DR: In this article, field-based partition coefficients (Kp) for As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn were determined by calculating the ratio of the amount of metal extracted by concentrated HNO3 to the metal concentration in the pore water.
