Use of geochemical fingerprints to trace sediment sources in an agricultural catchment of Argentina

Novel sediment source fingerprinting quantifying erosion-induced total nitrogen and total phosphorus outputs from an intensive agricultural catchment, North China

“…Tracers J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f used in sediment fingerprinting studies include color parameters (García-Comendador et al, 2020), plant pollen (Kobe et al, 2021), major and trace elemental composition (Li et al, 2019), rare earth elements (Astakhov et al, 2019;Brito et al, 2018), mineral magnetic characteristics (Wei et al, 2021), clay mineralogy (Verma et al, 2014) and E-DNA approach (Evrard et al, 2019). In particular, geochemical tracer techniques have been used to distinguish sediments in soils formed from different rock types (Gholami et al, 2019;Huang et al, 2020;Li et al, 2020b;Nosrati et al, 2021;Torres Astorga et al, 2020).…”
