Declarations
:
: The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
: There is a lack of studies regarding linkage between sphalerite weathering, including the effect of carbonates in the stability of secondary compounds, and the transitional stages of Zn (and Cd) bioaccumulation and exposure to plant systems in calcareous soil. The present work contributes to disclose these stages to better assess the transitory processes of Zn exposure to vegetable systems and ecotoxic damage rate affected by sphalerite weathering.
: The authors have consented before reference in the manuscript.
: Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study.
