Study of heavy metal and arsenic concentrations in olive farm soils, Sierra Mágina, Jaen, Spain.
The content of heavy metals and arsenic was studied in 35 soils under olive cultivation in the Sierra Mágina, Jaen, Spain. The concentrations of chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn) and arsenic (As) were determined at depths between 0 - 20 and 20- 40 cm. These soils developed on carbonate materials, predominantly Petric Calcisols and Calcaric Regosols (FAO, 1999). The homogeneity of parental material was responsible for the lack of significant variation seen in soil properties, and alsoheavy metal and arsenic content at the depths studied. Copper was the only element that varied over depth (p
