Data on rare earth elements in different particle size fractions of topsoil for two small erosional landforms in central European Russia.

ABSTRACT: The pathways and behavior of rare earth elements (REEs) in the soil environment have been receiving greater significance due to their wide use in technological applications, agriculture, and medicine over the last two decades and insufficient information on their health effect and participation in soil and geochemical processes. In this paper, we report original data on rare earth elements in various particle size fractions separated from the topsoil horizons of two small erosional landforms located in an uncontaminated area of the central part of European Russia (the Middle Protva basin, the Kaluga region). Soil samples were collected from the top 10 cm along several soil transects. Soils were sampled at the landforms sides, bottoms, detrital fans and catchment areas considered as sources
