The variations in Pb and Zn concentrations and their spatial distribution in the region can indirectly reflect the distribution pattern of mineral resources in the region and provide reference data for the exploration of elements associated with Pb and Zn (e.g., Au, Ag, Cu, and Mn). Moreover, Pb and Zn data are valuable in environmental research because the elements are persistent and potentially toxic heavy metals. Although numerous geological and geochemical surveys of Pb<img>Zn resources have been conducted in China, the Sino–Mongolian border region remains under studied. Therefore, in this study, we performed an integrated and comprehensive analytical study of single-element and combined Pb<img>Zn geochemical anomalies. A total of 10,452 catchment sediment samples were collected. Pb concentrations in the samples ranged from 1.90 to 494 mg/kg, while Zn concentrations ranged from 3.00 to 1940 mg/kg. Of these, the median and mean values for Pb were 19.4 mg/kg and 55.0 mg/kg, respectively, while the median and mean values for Zn were 19.9 mg/kg and 58.0 mg/kg, respectively. To characterize the concentration and spatial distribution of Pb and Zn in the study area, we conducted an exhaustive study across several dimensions, considering the geological setting, mineral development, and utilization, and explored the key factors affecting these characteristics. A total of 53 Pb, Zn geochemical anomalies (geochemical province/domain, Pb &gt; 23.1 mg/kg and Zn &gt; 75 mg/kg, &gt; Q85%), including 17 Pb<img>Zn combined geochemical anomalies, were identified in this study. The Pb<img>Zn combined geochemical anomalies were mainly concentrated in the Altai region in the west and the Daxinganling region in the east of the study area and are closely related to the distribution of known Pb<img>Zn deposits. The high-quality geochemical data produced during this study could be an important reference for future mineral exploration work and environmental change studies in the Sino–Mongolian border region.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geochemical Exploration","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142359026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the finite nature of land resources and suggests that encouraging farmers to relinquish rural housing land can improve economic productivity and enhance the efficient utilization of rural areas. Based in the field investigations conducted in Dongtai City, Jiangsu Province, employing in-depth interviews and questionnaire surveys, the research identifies three distinct stages in the rural household migration process: employment transition, residential relocation, and life integration. The findings reveal nuanced patterns: farmers in the employment transition phase exhibit lower intentions to withdraw from housing land, whereas those in the residential relocation phase demonstrate higher withdrawal intentions, which subsequently taper off during the life integration stage. Moreover, the study identifies a non-linear relationship between farmers' migration progression and their homestead withdrawal intentions, with intentions peaking at an intermediate stage before declining. The research highlights the need for policies that comprehensively address the dynamics of farmers' migration. Recommended strategies include implementing tailored compensation mechanisms and urban incentives to enhance the appeal of urban living. Such measures can facilitate smoother farmer migration and promote sustainable land use practices, contributing to overall societal sustainability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geochemical Exploration","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142312981","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Research has suggested that Ge is incorporated primarily into the sphalerite lattice in the form of element substitution, and few Ge-bearing minerals have been reported in these deposits. We identified numerous sphalerite colors in Huize and Maoping and further found Ge-bearing minerals in black (C1) sphalerite. These Ge-bearing minerals are randomly distributed and have regular mineral morphologies, suggesting potential co-precipitation with C1 sphalerite rather than formation during later metamorphism and oxidation. One Ge-bearing mineral, argutite (GeO<sub>2</sub>), is found in Huize C1 sphalerite, which occurs in an isolated distribution or is locally associated with pyrite and hematite. Two Ge-bearing minerals, brunogeierite (GeFe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) and argutite (GeO<sub>2</sub>), are found in the Maoping C1 sphalerite. Brunogeierite is more abundant than argutite and is commonly associated with pyrite and rarely with argutite. The petrography and elemental composition confirmed that the C1 sphalerite in Huize and Maoping is the earliest formed sphalerite with the highest formation temperature. This suggests that high temperatures favor the precipitation of argutite and brunogeierite. However, slight variations in sulfur and oxygen fugacity may have resulted in discrepancies in the occurrence of Ge-bearing minerals between the Huize and Maoping deposits. According to the fluid mixing metallogenic model in the Chuan–Dian–Qian region, we posit that Ge-oxide mineral precipitation benefited from the initial stage of fluid mixing between Ge-bearing reduced fluid and oxidized basinal brine. This is also consistent with the findings that argutite and brunogeierite are exclusively associated with C1 sphalerite. As fluid mixing progresses, Ge is incorporated into the sphalerite lattice via element substitution. The newly discovered independent Ge minerals (argutite and brunogeierite) present greater economic potential than Ge-rich sphalerite does, thereby offering significant insights into the enrichment mechanism of Ge and the further utilization of Ge resources.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":16336,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geochemical Exploration","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142314304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we predicted the prospective area and resource potential of REY-rich sediments with Fe–Mn (oxyhydr)oxides by considering multiple factors that control REY enrichment based on data from International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) samples and previous research. According to the distribution map inferred by comprehensively evaluating lithology (clay sediment), hydrothermal fluid influence (δ<sup>3</sup>He), and water depth (bathymetry), deep-sea sediments with Fe–Mn (oxyhydr)oxides, which have higher than 1000 ppm REY concentration, are distributed in the vicinity of the East Pacific Ridge within a water depth range of 4000–4600 m, and their distribution area is estimated to be approximately 1.1 million km<sup>2</sup>. If the sedimentation rate (&lt;1.5 m/Myr) is considered, which is a crucial factor influencing REY enrichment, we can achieve a more precise assessment of their distribution area. Assuming a recovery depth of only 1 m, the REY resource amount was estimated to be approximately &gt;450 million tons of REY oxide. Even without accounting for REY resource amount associated with bioapatite, the minimum REY resource amount estimated in this study exceed the world's current land reserves. Furthermore, these sediments contain a significant abundance of industrially important heavy REY, accounting for 53 % of REY resources. This implies that the deep-sea sediments with Fe–Mn (oxyhydr)oxides in the Pacific Ocean are a promising resource of REY.

The hyper-saline lakes of southern Bolivian Altiplano, which are ecological niches for endemic species, are also expected to be enriched in these toxic trace elements. The biogeochemistry of As, Hg, and Se in such high-altitude extreme environments (e.g., high UV radiation and salt content) remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the concentrations and chemical forms (speciation) of As, Hg, and Se in sediment, water, and air samples of Lagunas Colorada (LC), Verde (LV), and Blanca (LB) in the South Lipez region (&gt;4200 m a.s.l.). We compared them with the repartition of biodiversity (invertebrates, algae, and bacteria). Extreme As concentrations were found in water (up to 82 mg L<sup>−1</sup>), and the main As species was inorganic As(V), with neither biogenic methylated As nor volatile As forms being detected in water and air, respectively. Se concentrations in water were of 0.1 to 1.4 μg L<sup>−1</sup>, and Se existed under different redox states, i.e., Se(IV), Se(VI), and reduced Se (0, -II), including biogenic methylated Se(-II) (trimethyl selenonium). Volatile Se compounds (e.g., dimethyl selenide) were detected in water and air samples. Hg was enriched in the surface water (6 to 30 ng L<sup>−1</sup>) compared to other regional water bodies, and a significant amount of methyl-Hg and gaseous Hg(0) was detected. The drastic disparity between As, Se and Hg concentrations and speciation between lakes has important implications for their cycling in these extreme aquatic systems. While As mostly accumulated in its oxidized and non-volatile form, Hg and Se concentrations can be controlled by significant conversion to reduced and methylated forms, allowing efficient evasion to the atmosphere.
