Trinity assessment method applied to heavy-metal contamination in peri-urban soil–crop systems: A case study in northeast China

Identification and assessment of heavy-metal (HM) contamination in soil–crop systems are prerequisites for treating contamination of cultivated land. Traditional assessment methods focus primarily on total soil HM concentrations, whereas the assessment of HMs that occur in available forms or are acc...
