    Metal contamination in a sediment core from Osaka Bay during the last 400 years

    Osaka Bay adjacent to the Kyoto–Osaka–Kobe metropolitan area was affected by severe metal pollution during the twentieth century; yet little is known about the trace metal sources and pre-industrial human acti...

    Kettle holes reflect the biogeochemical characteristics of their catchment area and the intensity of the element-specific input

    Kettle holes are small inland water bodies known to be dominated by terrigenous material; however, the processes and structures that drive the enrichment and depletion of specific geochemical elements in the w...

    Divergent roles of iron and aluminum in sediment organic matter association at the terrestrial–aquatic interface

    Organic matter (OM) can be protected from abiotic and biotic breakdown via its association with iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al) in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. We hypothesized that the natural variatio...

    Organic matter distribution and retention along transects from hilltop to kettle hole within an agricultural landscape

    In agricultural landscapes, the spatio-temporal distribution of organic matter (OM) varies greatly across landscape structures and soil types. We investigated patterns of organic carbon (OC) content, polyvalen...
