Abstract
Like the concept of abundance, the concept of the migration or mobility of elements in landscapes can be discussed on an absolute or relative basis. Until now the tendency, outside Russia, has been to stress the study of absolute mobility of elements in landscapes. But in Russia, ever since the pioneer studies of Polynov (1937), both kinds of mobility have been considered by landscape geochemists. Consequently, as the study of environmental geochemistry becomes more sophisticated, the need for the description of relative mobilities of elements in particular landscapes will increase. For example, using simulation models in certain types of landscapes it should be possible to predict accurately the migration patterns for most mobile elements based on data and information obtained for the behavior of relatively few mobile elements.KeywordsCatchment AreaMigration RateRelative MobilityRelative Absorption CoefficientEnvironmental GeochemistryThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
