Description
Summary:Biogeochemical cycling and chemical transformation of selenium in the environment of the People's Republic of China is surveyed. Characteristics of low Se environments are profiled, noting that in northeastern regions organic matter in soils affects Se bioavailability. Se concentrations in soils of the Huabei plain are strongly influenced by leaching and hydrological transport processes. Low Se soils have developed in low Se parent material with he Loessial Plateau, which is also marked by a low flux of the metal between soil and plants.
