25 Total and EDTA-extractable concentrations of Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn in rice-farming 26 soils and their distribution in the profile depth were evaluated. The temporal variability of 27 metal concentrations in the superficial horizon was studied during 1991-1995. Results show 28 that the highest metal concentrations correspond to Zn, Pb, and Cu, for total and EDTA29 extractable fraction. I...
