Mineralization with exchangeable rare earth element (REE) and yttrium (MEX-REY) has
been recognized in the weathering profiles in South China since the early 1970's. This type …

Concentrations of heavy metals Ba, Sc, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Th, U, Cu, Pb, Zn, and Cd in
sediments from the lower reaches of the **angjiang River were analyzed using inductively …

Chemical weathering indices are commonly used for characterizing weathering profiles by
incorporating bulk major element oxide chemistry into a single metric for each sample …

Chemical weathering indices are useful tools in characterizing weathering profiles and
determining the extent of weathering. However, the predictive performance of the …

The present research reconstructs the histories of chemical weathering in the drainage
basins of the Changjiang and Huanghe based on the chemical compositions of the river …

The Indian subcontinent comprises accreted cratonic fragments that underwent subsequent
rifting–subduction–collision processes along major mobile belts. It is also a storehouse of a …

The Kaveri River drains through Archean gneissic and charnockitic terranes in south India.

We present a set of bulk chemical and mineralogical compositions of the **ba red residua
on karst terrains of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau that show evidence pertaining to the source …

The relationship between the spatial variability of soil elements, weathering and erosion
rates can be very complex. Topography, abruptly-changing elevation gradients and slopes …

Many physico-chemical variables like rock-type, climate, topography and exposure age
affect weathering environments. In the present study, an attempt is made to understand how …
