Geochemical characterization of potentially toxic elements in topsoil under different land‑use patterns in the village of Guido (Midwestern Burkina Faso) using multivariate geostatistical techniques
Michel Bembamba and Aboubakar Sako
Burkina Faso faces a major challenge of environmental degradation due to a booming of gold mining. To date, there is no available information regarding soil geochemical status of this rapidly transitioning land use from merely subsistence agriculture to market gardening and artisanal gold mining. Therefore, this case study investigates distrib(...)
