The effect of soil properties on zinc lability and solubility in soils of Ethiopia - an isotopic dilution study (2021)
Journal Article

Zinc (Zn) deficiency is a widespread nutritional problem in human populations, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The Zn concentration of crops consumed depends in part on the Zn status of the soil. Improved understanding of factors controlling...

The nutritional quality of cereals varies geospatially in Ethiopia and Malawi (2021)
Journal Article

Micronutrient deficiencies (MNDs) remain widespread among people in sub-Saharan Africa where access to sufficient food from plant and animal sources that is rich in micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) is limited due to socioeconomic and geographic...

Multiple geochemical factors may cause iodine and selenium deficiency in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan (2021)
Journal Article

Deficiencies of the micronutrients iodine and selenium are particularly prevalent where populations consume local agricultural produce grown on soils with low iodine and selenium availability. This study focussed on such an area, Gilgit-Baltistan in... Read More about Multiple geochemical factors may cause iodine and selenium deficiency in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan.

Zinc deficiency is highly prevalent and spatially dependent over short distances in Ethiopia (2021)
Journal Article

Zinc (Zn) is an essential nutrient for human health. In Ethiopia, a high prevalence of Zn deficiency has been reported. To explore demographic variation and spatial dependencies in the Zn status of the Ethiopian population, we analyzed archived serum... Read More about Zinc deficiency is highly prevalent and spatially dependent over short distances in Ethiopia.

Fate of selenium in biofortification of wheat on calcareous soil: an isotopic study (2021)
Journal Article

Selenium (Se) biofortification of staple cereal crops can improve the Se nutritional status of populations. A field trial employing an enriched stable isotope of Se (77Se) was undertaken over three consecutive cropping seasons in a coarse textured, c...

Selenium speciation and bioaccessibility in Se-fertilised crops of dietary importance in Malawi (2021)
Journal Article

© 2021 The Author(s) The purpose of this research was to explore the speciation and bioaccessibility of native soil-derived selenium (Se) versus Se applied via fertiliser in the edible portions of maize, groundnut and cowpea grown in Malawi. Fertilis... Read More about Selenium speciation and bioaccessibility in Se-fertilised crops of dietary importance in Malawi.
