Copper is a chemical element, harmful for the living matter, which may be associated under different forms with organic and inorganic constituents of soils. At a macroscopic scale, thermodynamic modelings, often over-parameterized, are insufficient to conclude on the nature of these forms. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) performed with rays focused on a few micro-m² allows the access at this information. At this micrometer scale, the specific variability of copper forms from one point of analyze to another induces changes on the measured micro-XAS signal. In theory, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) enables the enumeration of pure species. These techniques have been used to characterize the copper forms on the one hand in paddy fields ...
