Cadmium, lead, and zinc distributions and cycling in a mixed deciduous forest [Tennessee, USA]

Cadmium, lead, and zinc distributions and cycling were determined in a mixed deciduous forest in eastern Tennessee (USA). Major points of accumulation were litter and small roots, while soil was the long-term sink. Biogeochemical cycles of Cd, Pb, and Zn were conservative with respect to inputs (inp...

Zusammenfassung:Cadmium, lead, and zinc distributions and cycling were determined in a mixed deciduous forest in eastern Tennessee (USA). Major points of accumulation were litter and small roots, while soil was the long-term sink. Biogeochemical cycles of Cd, Pb, and Zn were conservative with respect to inputs (inputs >> losses) and total quantities in the system (losses
