Fractionation of rare earth elements in tropical soils from marine mudstone along a toposequence by Marvin D. Cascante, Cho-Yin Wu, Zeng-Yei Hseu

“…Increasing ∑LREEs/∑HREEs ratios (ranged from 1.5 to 3.9), δCe (ranged from 0.3 to 1.0), and δEu (ranged from 1.1 to 1.4) values were observed relative to the decreasing elevation, which was dictated by the solubility and mobility of the elements during the transportation processes, provoking the fractionation of REEs. δCe positively and significantly (p < 0.001) correlated with dithionite-citrate-carbonate extractable iron, indicating the close interactions of iron oxides and the redox chemistry of Ce. …”

Hydrogeochemical characterization and water quality assessment of mountain springs: Insights for strategizing water management in the lesser Indian Himalayas by Bhargabnanda Dass, M. Someshwar Rao, Sumit Sen

“…New hydrological insights for the region: Results reveal strong spatio-temporal variations in spring aquifer chemistry, primarily influenced by silica degradation and groundwater mixing, with secondary effects from ion-exchange and anthropogenic activities. Silicate and carbonate mineral weathering shapes groundwater chemical evolution, with Ca–HCO3 and Ca-Mg-HCO3 as major hydrochemical facies. …”

The consequences of changes in forest land cover in the Alpine and Jurassic massifs on the physico-chemical status of deep lake waters by Van Tuan Nghiem, Rachid Nedjai, Nacer Nasreddine Messaoud

“…The first two sources have been confirmed, but the third is less perceptible due to slow progression of the phenomenon.Analysis and modelling of changes in land cover in the Hérisson river basin in the Jura mountains (largely carbonated soils) confirmed the direct impact of the forest cover on the physico-chemical quality of lake waters, in particular at the deeper levels (hypolimnion) over the past 30 years. …”
