DISTRIBUTION OF ZN, CU, MN, CO, MO, B, IN THE UPPER PART OF THE PHILIPPI PEAT PROFILE, GREECE

摘要

Along a 19-m long profile from the Philippi peatland (Greece), the total and the mobile (bioavailable) contents of Zn, Cu, Mn, Co, Mo, and B in the samples and their extracted solutions, respectively, are determined. The results are statistically treated using factor analysis. The elements Zn, Cu, and Co reveal an inorganic affinity and Mo an organic one. Bioavailablity is decreasing in the order Zn > Cu > Mn > Co > Mo > B. In peat, Mn and Zn are more mobile than in the inorganic sediments, while Cu and Mo show just the opposite trend.
