From biological to lithological control of the B geochemical cycle in a forest watershed (Strengbach, Vosges)

A Rapid Method for Determining Boron Concentration (ID‐ICP‐MS) and δ11B (MC‐ICP‐MS) in Vegetation Samples after Microwave Digestion and Cation Exchange Chemical Purification

“…, Cividini et al . ). Finally, a recent study has addressed the B isotope biogeochemical cycle in a forested catchment emphasising the importance of the vegetation cycling (Cividini et al .…”

“…Finally, a recent study has addressed the B isotope biogeochemical cycle in a forested catchment emphasising the importance of the vegetation cycling (Cividini et al . ). This conclusion is consistent with earlier observations made on continental scale ecosystem (Park and Schlesinger ) that has recognised the biological cycling as the highest B flux on continents.…”

Lithium isotope systematics in a forested granitic catchment (Strengbach, Vosges Mountains, France)

“…It has now become an experimental basin (Hydro Geochemical Observatory of the Environment, http://ohge.u-strabg.fr) used to study and characterize hydrogeochemical mechanisms in forested ecosystems, using the geochemistry of major and trace elements, as well as various isotopic systems such as B, Ca, Sr, U-Th (Aubert et al, 2002b(Aubert et al, , 2004Cividini et al, 2010;Dambrine et al, 1998b;El Gh'mari, 1995;Probst et al, 1990Probst et al, , 2000Probst et al, , 1995Probst et al, , 1992Fichter et al, 1998b;Riotte and Chabaux, 1999). On two experimental plots (VP under spruce and HP under beeches on Fig.…”

“…This was the approach used by Goddéris et al (2006) in their modelling of weathering fluxes, and in recent studies of Ca and B isotope behaviours in this catchment (Cenki-Tok et al, 2009, Cividini et al, 2010. The results obtained with those models are presented in Table 3.…”

Using short-lived nuclides of the U- and Th-series to probe the kinetics of colloid migration in forested soils

“…and 170-year old beech stands (Fagus sylvatica L.) are present over 20% of the area. Some recent studies have investigated the impact of this vegetation on various chemical fluxes (REE, B, Ca, Li) (Stille et al, 2006Cenki-Tok et al, 2009;Cividini et al, 2010;Lemarchand et al, 2010).…”
