A #newarticle from Schuuring et al. found that taller, High Arctic vegetation in Svalbard, Norway lead to lower minimum soil temperatures, which is contrary to findings in lower latitudes: doi.org/10.1080/1523....

New open access paper! 🎉 Rare earth elements, not so rare? In a wetland below an abandoned Colorado silver mine, REEs were more concentrated than cadmium and lead. Unlike trace metals, they persisted in impacted wetlands. What does this mean for how we monitor and remediate mine-impacted water? 🧪⚒️🌎

Spatial patterns of rare earth elements and trace metals in an acid mine drainage-impacted wetland ecosystem

Climate trends in the Colorado Mineral Belt have intensified acid rock drainage (ARD) and acid mine drainage (AMD), increasing the need to understand trace metal and rare earth element (REE) cyclin...
