Glyphosate promotes the trace element mobility
September 2023
September 2023
Trace elements cause several environmental and health risks in agricultural environments. These risks strongly depend on their mobility, which is linked to numerous factors, such as the presence of organic compounds capable of binding to trace elements. This is the case of glyphosate, a herbicide used in agriculture, which was studied in this new study. We investigated the capacity of glyphosate and its main degradation product (AMPA) to promote or limit the transfer of fifteen trace elements from the soil to the soil solution. These results are published in Environmental Science and Pollution Research.
Evaluation of the citizen science protocol Lichens GO

April 2023
The Lichens GO protocol, a citizen science approach for air quality assessment through lichens, was evaluated for simplification steps, observer bias, and protocol applicability. The adaptations proposed show an improvement in the ecological interpretation (proportions of indicator species and functional diversity) compared to the previous protocol. The results are published in Ecological Indicators.
Rare earth elements in the soil–plante system

Transfer of trace elements from soil to plant is a corner stone for risk assessment. Rare earth elements are frequently used as geochemical tracers for element transfer to plant. In this study, we evaluated biogeochemical behaviors of trace elements and rare earth elements in the soil–plant continuum to assess to what extend the rare earth element monitoring allows identifying preferential pathway from soil to plant. The results are published in Biogeochemsitry.
