Abstract Soil salinity represents one of the major threats land degradation and desertification under arid semi-arid environments. It has an adverse influence on soil-water-plant relationships, posing serious challenges to agricultural productivity. The main objective this work was monitor effect farmyard manure (FYM) application irrigation with low-quality water dynamics dissolved salts yield ...

Abstract Devolatilization of subducting lithologies liberates COH-fluids. These may become partially sequestered in peridotites the slab and overlying forearc mantle, affecting cycling volatiles fluid mobile elements subduction zones. Here we assess magnitudes, timescales mechanism channelized injection COH-fluids doped with $${\mathrm{Ca}}_{\mathrm{aq}}^{2+}$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w...

Introduction: On Earth δCl = ~0 ± 5 ‰ [1]. For lunar rocks elevated δCl values of up to 35 ‰ have been reported in apatites [1,2]. The initial study interpreted the elevated δCl in lunar rocks as a result of metal chlorides degassing in low-H2O environments [1]. Additional data [3,4] have shown high-δCl values in samples with apatite containing appreciable amounts of H2O (>2000 ppm). Metasomati...

Hibonite-(Fe), (Fe,Mg)Al12O19, is the Fe2+-dominant analog of hibonite CaAl12O19, discovered in a highly altered Ca-,Al-rich refractory inclusion from the Allende meteorite. It occurs as scattered micrometer-sized single crystals within an aggregate of hercynite (Fe,Mg)Al2O4, adjacent to nepheline, ilmenite, ferroan spinel, perovskite, and hibonite. The mean chemical composition determined by e...

Abstract We present mineralogical and geochemical compositions of mantle xenoliths from two Cenozoic basalt localities the northeastern North China Craton. These include lherzolite, harzburgite, websterite. They are generally fertile in major elements different typical cratonic lithosphere, which is consistent with previous hypotheses regarding craton destruction. The ratios 87Sr/86Sr (La/Yb)N ...
