Migration and retention of these metals were investigated in undisturbed soil columns irrigated with simulated background and polluted precipitation in order to study the temporal processes of retention and release within the soil. The mineral layers were strongly acidified by the contaminated precipitation. Forest floor layers demonstrated a high capacity to retain input Ni and Cu under all conditions. Mineral layers accumulated some Cu, but released Ni. In general, Ni leached through the soil faster than Cu. Since metals are strongly retained in the forest floor layer, even after reduction or cessation of inputs there may be a significant long–term risk of their leaching to deeper soil and groundwater. This risk cannot be ameliorated without remediative intervention. </p></abstract><publication_date><month>04</month><day>29</day><year>2013</year></publication_date><pages><first_page>187</first_page><last_page>194</last_page></pages><publisher_item><identifier id_type="pii">469</identifier></publisher_item><doi_data><doi>10.30955/gnj.000469</doi><timestamp>1713304260</timestamp><resource>https://journal.gnest.org/publication/469</resource></doi_data></journal_article></journal></body></doi_batch> </div>
