1 The last assignment is for you to pick a paper discussing the biogeochemical cycling of a trace metal. You should provide some introduction to the metal you have chosen. You must discuss the movement or cycling between at the least 2 spheres.(atmosphere/hydrosphere/biosphere/lithosphere /anthroposphere). Trace elements Geochemistry-Usually those with crustal abundance of < 100 ppm or ug/g or less Biochemistry-micronutrients-essential at low concentrations Some toxic at higher 1
2 Trace metals Metal occurrence Natural background concentrations Concentrated by geologic processes Metal release Natural rates-mechanical and chemical weathering Exacerbated by humans Concentrating Altering the rate at which they are transported between reservoirs Altering their chemical form Changing physical and chemical environments Coal = life forms so concentrations of essential micronutrients Combustion releases As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Hg, Pb, Se, V and Zn Mobilization Chemical form will influence Chemistry of the environment Redox ph Adsorbtion/absorption Toxicity and bioavailability Influenced greatly by chemical form Trace metals 2

Results are plotted on a calendar time-scale obtained by counting of the annual laminations (varves). In Norrtjrnsjn the time-scale must be considered a floating chronology because of a disturbance in the varve record in the near surface sediment, and, therefore here, the results are matched to the other lakes using the lead isotope curves. Note, scale changes on the time axis.
