Effect of soil leaching on the toxicity thresholds (ECx) of Zn in soils with different properties

Currently, the scientific basis for establishing soil environmental criteria is lacking. In order to establish reasonable soil environmental criteria values suitable for soils with different properties, this study selected soils from 16 different sites to determine the toxicity threshold of Zn based...
