Assessment of the phytotoxicity of chromium in soils using the selective ion exchange resin extraction method
Chromium in soils is present in the form of Cr(VI) oxyanions or Cr(III) cations. The toxicity and mobility of Cr(VI) are higher than those of Cr(III), thus it is essential that the availability of Cr(VI) in so...

Assessing the phytotoxicity of chromium in Cr(VI)-spiked soils by Cr speciation using XANES and resin extractable Cr(III) and Cr(VI)
The phytotoxicity of soil Cr usually depends on the plant availability of Cr(VI) in Cr-contaminated soils. However, Cr(VI) is favorably reduced to Cr(III) under acidic conditions, and increased availability of...
