TLDR
Through the pollution evaluation, it was found that only 30.8% of the study area did not suffer from moderate or severe pollution, indicating that the source of these elements was mainly controlled by soil-forming factors.

Sources of Heavy Metals and Metalloids in Soils

TL;DR: In this paper, heavy metals and metalloids in soils are derived from the soil parent material (lithogenic source) and various anthropogenic sources, most of which involve several metal(loid)s.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trace metal contamination in urban soils of China.

TL;DR: An overview of studies on the quality of urban soils in China with special reference to trace metal contamination is provided, which summarizes the characteristics of accumulation, spatial and temporal distribution, and major sources of various toxic or potentially toxic trace metals in urban soils as reported in recent literature.

Multivariate and geostatistical analyses of the spatial distribution and origin of heavy metals in the agricultural soils in Shunyi, Beijing, China.

TL;DR: Multivariate and geostatistical analyses suggested that soil contamination of Cd, Cu and Zn was mainly derived from agricultural practices, whereas, As and Pb were due mainly to soil parent materials, and Hg was caused by the atmospheric deposits from Beijing City.

Heavy metal contaminations in a soil-rice system: identification of spatial dependence in relation to soil properties of paddy fields.

TL;DR: The results indicated some studied areas had potential contaminations by heavy metals, especially by Cd, which illustrated that the highest concentrations were located in the northwest areas and the accumulation of these metals may be due to the industrialization, agricultural chemicals and other human activities.

Principles of geostatistics

G. Matheron
- 01 Dec 1963 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a new science leading to such an approach, namely geostatistics, which is a new approach for estimating the estimation of ore grades and reserves.

Geostatistics for Natural Resources Evaluation

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-modelling framework that automates the very labor-intensive and therefore time-heavy and expensive process of manually cataloging and estimating the effects of noise in a discrete-time model.
