Abstract
- Sr/Ca ratios, and Sr and Nd isotopes, were determined in aqua regia extracts from three urban and agricultural soils from Ravenna. Sr/Ca ratios suggested preferential retention of Sr in the agricultural soils during the weathering of bedrock minerals. Despite of the different land use, the three soils displayed similar isotopic ranges, suggesting common sources for the two elements, likely represented by old marine carbonates and crustal silicates. The Nd isotopes of the urban park topsoil suggest some contamination by the soot of car exhausts.<br />Sono stati determinati i rapporti Sr/Ca e i rapporti isotopici di Sr e Nd in estratti di aqua regia di tre suoli interessati da uso agricolo e residenziale della zona di Ravenna. I rapporti Sr/Ca suggeriscono la ritenzione preferenziale dello Sr nei suoli agricoli durante l’alterazione dei minerali. Nonostante il differente uso, i suoli hanno rapporti isotopici simili, suggerendo che Sr e Nd derivano da sorgenti comuni, rappresentate da carbonati marini antichi e silicati crostali. Gli orizzonti più superficiali del suolo del giardino pubblico mostrano una probabile presenza di Nd derivato dalle emissioni di scarico dei veicoli.
