Physico-chemical and biological parameters determine metal bioavailability in soils.

    Research output: Contribution to JournalArticleAcademicpeer-review

    Abstract

    The Netherlands Stimulation program on System-oriented Ecotoxicological Research focused on three study areas, including two floodplains and a peaty grassland. All three areas were polluted with metals, with total soil concentrations often exceeding Dutch Intervention Values. The floodplain areas showed a homogeneous distribution of metal pollution, while pollution in the peaty area was more heterogeneous. This study aimed at establishing possible general trends in metal bioavailability by combining results obtained at the three different study sites. Available metal concentrations, measured as pore water or 0.01 M CaCl
