Geochemical Signatures of Anthropogenic Influence in Lithuanian Peatlands: A Multi-layered Comparative Approach
摘要
Raised bogs exhibited pronounced surface accumulation and vertical stratification of Pb, Zn, Cu, Hg, and other potentially toxic elements. Moderate enrichment of Pb, Sb, Sn, and Ag in raised bogs indicates the influence of atmospheric deposition. Fens were characterised by high Ca, Mg, Fe, S and Mn concentrations, reflecting strong groundwater control and weak vertical differentiation. Interpretation of peat contamination requires combining absolute concentrations with enrichment factor analysis.
