1. Long-Term Impact of Drought on AcidSulfate Soil Leaching, a Study of NineCatchment Areas in Sweden and Finland
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapsläraAbstract : Sediments rich in sulfide were deposited in the Littorina sea in an environment that was shallow, anoxic,and reductive. The sediments were brought above sea level by isostatic uplift and can now be foundalong the coast of the Baltic sea. READ MORE

2. Temporal and spatial trends of heavy metal leakage from acid sulfate soils : Leakage of Ni, Zn, Cu and Fe to freshwater and marine sediments, North-eastern Sweden
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : Acid Sulfate soils (AS) are recognized for being a source of acidity in freshwaters in America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Apart from the problematic acid leachate, AS soil serves as a possible source of toxic heavy metals in freshwaters, a problem which has received far less attention than problems related to acid leachate.

3. Sediment chemistry and the potential toxicity to benthic invertebrates in sediments affected by acid sulfate soils : A study on freshwater and marine sediments in Västerbotten, Sweden
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskapAbstract : The leakages of metals from acid sulfate soils and their potential toxicity to benthic invertebrates were studied in the sediment profiles of Lillkvasjön and Lövselefjärden - a lake and an estuary known to be affected by acid sulfate soils - in Västerbotten, northern Sweden. The concentrations of 25 different elements were analyzed throughout both sediment profiles through X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectrometer analysis. READ MORE

4. Acid Sulfate Soils and Metal Accumulation in Sediments in Rosån Catchment, Northern Sweden
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperAbstract : Global environmental concerns arise when marine deposits with fine-grained iron sulfide-rich sediments (FeS and FeS2), now situated above sea level, oxidize from anthropogenic lowering of the groundwater table. The oxidation of iron sulfides decreases the soil pH and the acidic environment of these Acid Sulfate Soils (AS) soils increase weathering and mobilization of metals into adjacent watercourses, lakes and estuaries.
