Published without a dust jacket. -- Part B of the GEMAS atlas provides a more detailed interpretation of the spatial distribution of selected elements (As, C, Cd, K, Th, U) at the European scale than was possible to provide in Part A, the geochemical atlas. To highlight the importance of scale this part also provides interpretations of the data set at a more local scale (Scandinavia and Ukraine). Possibilities for more-in-depth uses of the data set from assessing the impact of agriculture (carbon stock), through risk assessment to unravelling geological processes (loess distribution) are demonstrated. Several chapters cover the background information needed for the interpretation of a geochemical atlas (geology, soil formation, mineral deposits). Finally, data on the regional distribution of some rarely analysed elements (B, Cl, F) at the European scale are presented, based on the old FOREGS soil samples. A discussion of element concentrations, as measured in a very weak extraction (MMI), helps to understand the geochemical processes governing the distribution of elements at the European scale, and allows us to better detect the impact of human activities on European agricultural soil. Part B also provides Tables summarising European legislation with regard to soil, and the key statistical parameters for the GEMAS samples. -- Contents: - General Background Information: 1 Short Guide to Soil Formation & the Soils of Europe 2 Geology of Europe 3 Mineral Deposits of Europe; - Applied Geochemistry of Selected Elements: 4 Arsenic Anomalies in European Agricultural and Grazing Land Soil 5 Distribution of Cadmium 6 Carbon Concentrations 7 Distribution of Selenium 8 Natural Radioactive Elements Uranium, Thorium and Potassium 9 Distribution of Aeolian Deposits in Europe and Their Influence on Soil Geochemistry 10 Distribution of Boron, Chlorine and Fluorine in European Topsoil and Subsoil (based on samples from the FOREGS project); - Mobility & Risk Assessment of Metals: 11 Prediction of Metal and Metalloid Partitioning Coefficients (Kd) in Soil Using Mid-Infrared Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy 12 Use of Monitoring Data for Risk Assessment of Metals in Soil under the European REACH Regulation 13 Mobile Metal Ion Analysis of European Agricultural Soil; - Regional Interpretation of GEMAS Data: 14 Elemental Patterns in Agricultural and Grazing Land Soil in Norway, Finland & Sweden: What Have We Learned from Continental-Scale Mapping? 15 Geochemical Characteristics of Ukrainian Soil Using Landscape-Geochemical Regionalisation Based on the GEMAS Data; Appendices [Soil Guideline Values for Agricultural and Grazing Land Soil in Different European Countries; GEMAS Project: Statistical Parameters for All of Europe (Ap and Gr samples); GEMAS Project: Statistical Parameters of Northern and Southern Europe (Ap samples)].
