TracEnviSoil - Tracing metal(loid) and rare earth elements contents in alluvial soils of Baixo Vouga Lagunar: Origin, availability and environmental issues
Résumé
The Baixo Vouga Laugar (BVL) is a very particular example of the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. This region, characterised by highly productive soils, enticed humankind to take advantage of its land and surface water reservoirs for the development of various agricultural practices (e.g., rice paddies, cornfields, pasture, among others). The high fertility of BVL's soils is owed to their development under the influence of alluvial deposits, materials with loamy texture, high porosity and marked organic matter enrichment. However, as demonstrated by the results obtained in other OHM projects, some of these soils are enriched in several potential toxic elements (PTEs). For this reason, the TracEnviSoil project intends to obtain a screening of the distribution of metal(loid)s of greater concern, as well as of rare earth elements (REEs), in order to ascertain the most probable sources (geogenic versus anthropogenic) of these trace elements, but also their (bio)availability and eco-toxicity in agriculture soils. This would allow to infer the potential risks for soil productivity, by creating harmful conditions for the soil microbiome and plant growth. Finally, the bioaccumulation of PTEs in the edible parts of plants will be evaluated in order to estimate the risk of their entry into the food chain, namely of animals and humans that feed on the vegetable products grown on these soils.

Luís
Portela
Luís Portela completed his licentiate degree in Biology and Geology at the University of Aveiro (UA) in 2016. In 2018, he concluded his master’s degree in Geomaterials and Geological Resources at the UA and Faculty of Sciences of the University of Porto. He is currently attending the third year of the PhD Programme in Geosciences at the same institutions. During his academic career, he has deepened his skills in fieldwork, namely in the description and macroscopic characterisation of outcropping lithologies and geological mapping, as well as in the elaboration of geological and spatial-variation maps using ArcGIS software. His research has been mainly focused in the areas of geochemistry, petrology and Sr-Nd isotope geology of igneous and metamorphic rocks, but recently he has also been investigating water-rock interaction processes. To date, he has two papers published and indexed in SCOPUS; has five extended abstracts in national and international conferences, presented in...
