About This Topic

Biogeochemistry of trace elements in aquatic ecosystems

This issue will focus on studies that have investigated analytical methods and approaches  for measuring the biogeochemical cycling of trace elements in aquatic ecosystems.

This includes studies that have investigated:

• The partitioning and movement of elements in ecosystems between air, water, sediments and biota
• The changes in chemical forms of elements (speciation) as cycling occurs in ecosystems
• The relationships of exposure-dose-response (s) in the uptake and cycling of elements by biota
• Quality control and assurance issues in biogeochemical measurements

The significance of these studies, is that without appropriate methods fundamental questions on biogeochemical cycling cannot be addressed.

Open Access Research Article A Methodology to Estimate Net Proton: Phosphorus Co-Adsorption Ratios for Acidic Soils by Paul Taglieri  , Paul Milham  , Paul Holford  and R. John Morrison Received: 07 November 2019;  Published: 13 April 2020;  doi: 10.21926/acr.2002005 Abstract Despite extensive research, the behaviour of the key nutrient element, phosphorus (P), in soil is not yet fully understood. This study focussed on the outstanding issue of the co-adsorption of protons (H+) and P by soils. We developed a congruent set of measures to determine the net H+:P co-adsorption ratio and tested it on goethite, for which [...]
