Surface Geochemistry of Soil in the Deerbuer Pb-Zn Deposit
The Deerbuer Pb-Zn deposit is located in a forest and swamp area. Element geochemistry of soil in the low temperature and rich organic matter environment was studied. It is shown that element geochemistry is influenced by rock, soil granularity, iron-manganese oxides, organic matter and acid precipitation, and modes of occurrence of elements in eluvial and humus layers are mainly iron-manganese oxides which play a significant role in element enrichment. The adsorption of organic matter is affected by soil granularity, horizon, and organic matter content.
