title: Editorial: Advances in the environmental distribution of less studied elements
abstract: This Research Topic focused on the advancements in our understanding of the environmental processes governing the transport and fate of several elements within natural biogeochemical cycles. The target elements were a group characterized by potential environmental impacts, including emerging contaminants (e.g., critical elements) and radionuclides. For the case of radionuclides, the commonly used approach studying homologue stable isotopes of the elements of interest was also accepted, given the
