Drought changes phosphorus and potassium accumulation patterns in an evergreen Mediterranean forest (2007, methodology): “The soil and the 0·01 m NaNO 3 solvent were mixed in 50-mL plastic centrifuge tubes and were used according to the method given by Blaser et al. (2000).”
Distinguishing between natural and anthropogenic sources for elements in the environment: regional geochemical surveys versus enrichment factors. (2005, background): “In contrast to other authors who have promoted the use of EFs (e.g., Atteia, 1994; Berg et al., 1994; Loska et al., 1997; Getty et al., 1999; Blaser et al., 2000; Veysseyre et al., 2001), Reimann and de Caritat (2000) demonstrated that the concept of normalising element concentrations to an average ”
Metal contamination of farming soils affected by industry. (2004, background): “Nickel content in the rural and urban soils of Vietnam was 3.5 times higher (Thuj et al., 2000), and much higher contents were also found in the forest soils of Switzerland (Blaser et al., 2000).”
Geochemical background--concept and reality. (2005, background): “Some authors (e.g., Steinnes and Njåstad, 1995; Blaser et al., 2000) suggest that element concentrations measured in a deeper soil horizon can be taken as dlocal backgroundT for the upper soil horizons that are more likely affected by anthropogenic contamination.”
