8 m lateritic profile on basalt beside Huguangyan Maar Lake (Zhanjiang, Guangdong), tropical climate, profile age about 78 ka; kaolinite, goethite, quartz, hematite and ilmenite. Soils are lighter than the basalt: iron oxides retain 121Sb and 123Sb goes to the waters; atmospheric input (rain, litter) dominant in the upper 4 m (Wu et al., 2024). Indicative coordinates (Huguangyan lake). Litterfall (0.12 to 0.15 µg/g Sb) and rain (0.058 to 0.066 ng/mL) feeding the surface soils; fluxes accumulated over 78 ka: 725 µg/cm2 from rain and 484 µg/cm2 from litter, against 85.5 µg/cm2 released by the basalt.
