Fifty years ago, the Journal of Environmental Quality (JEQ) was launched to provide an outlet for publication of research on the impacts of agriculture on the environment, and vice versa. A core concept of JEQ is advancement of environmental science, with emphasis on understanding factors that affect the fate, risks, and quality of soil, water, and atmospheric systems, and how these system processes affect plants, microbes, and animals. Trace elements are a focus area of JEQ because when present at higher than natural concentrations, they may pose risks to environmental quality and ecosystem health, depending on their bioavailability. Trace element biogeochemical cycling is affected by anthropogenic influences on land, air, and water, including land management practices such as agriculture and mining. The Journal of Environmental Quality has published a prolific catalog of scientific research publications on trace elements and their risks to humans, soil health, water quality, and the environment. In this review, research on trace elements and their impacts on environmental quality is presented, with a special focus on work published in JEQ.
五十年前,《环境质量杂志》(JEQ)创刊,旨在为农业对环境的影响以及反之亦然的研究提供发表的渠道。JEQ 的一个核心概念是推进环境科学,重点是了解影响土壤、水和大气系统命运、风险和质量的因素,以及这些系统过程如何影响植物、微生物和动物。微量元素是 JEQ 的一个重点关注领域,因为当它们的浓度高于自然浓度时,根据其生物利用度,它们可能对环境质量和生态系统健康构成风险。微量元素的生物地球化学循环受到人类对土地、空气和水的影响,包括农业和采矿等土地管理实践。《环境质量杂志》发表了大量关于微量元素及其对人类、土壤健康、水质和环境的风险的科学研究出版物。在这篇综述中,介绍了关于微量元素及其对环境质量的影响的研究,特别关注发表在 JEQ 上的工作。
