Fire Promotes Arsenic Mobilization and Rapid Arsenic(III) Formation in Soil via Thermal Alteration of Arsenic-Bearing Iron Oxides
Arsenic in oxic surface soils readily associates with Fe(III) oxide minerals such as ferrihydrite and goethite, predominantly as As(V). Fires are a common feature in many landscapes, creating high-temperature soil conditions which drive thermal transformation of these As(V)-bearing minerals. However...
