Multivariate Statistical and GIS-Based Approach for the Identification of Mn and Ni Concentrations and Spatial Variability in Soils of a Humid Mediterranean Environment: La Rioja, Spain

Abstract: The goal of the present work was to increase our knowledge on the behavior of manganese and nickel in soil within a Mediterranean environment. The study assessed the concentration levels of Mn and Ni (heavy metals selected for their essential role in the development of plants) in 250 soil horizon samples within 125 soil profiles of undisturbed soils in La Rioja (Spain). The study was undertaken to investigate and predict Mn and Ni concentrations on a regional scale. The analysis of spatial distribution of the … Show more

“…On the other hand, these values are below the average andesitic crust (Taylor and McLennan 1995). This interpretation is consistent with Iñigo et al (2011) that observed in the soils of La Rioja, Spain mean values of Mn (738.2 mg kg -1 ) on the surface and 550.7 mg kg -1 in depth, which suggests an origin from atmospheric deposition. However, the Ni concentrations have an opposite behavior where the mean values are 33.30 mg kg -1 on the surface and 40.49 mg kg -1 in depth, which suggests a lithogenic source.…”

“…Furthermore, the results derived from these methods can verify each other (Yalcin and Ilhan, 2008). Recently, there were many examples of multivariate analysis in sources identification of heavy metals (Facchinelli et al, 2001;Inigo et al, 2011;Boruvka et al, 2005;Zhang, 2006;Imperato et al, 2003;Sajn et al, 2011).…”

“…Ni DTPA was on average about 5% of Ni T (Figure and Table ). Both the range of values of Ni DTPA and of F DTPA agree with the few published data of Ni in noncontaminated soils (Kara et al ., ; Iñigo et al ., ) although much larger fractions of extractable Ni are found in sludge‐amended soils (Pardo et al ., ). Total Ni and available Ni in soils were correlated in vegetable soils and in paddy soils, but not for the full data set.…”
