  ABSTRACT: The distribution of the metallic trace elements (MTE) Zn, Pb and Cd in a sludge-amended soil and their partitioning in specific soil microystems are studied by comparing their contents in amended and control soils. This comparison is achieved at the metric scale of the bulk soil horizons and at the micrometric scale of the weathering microsites (weathering rock-forming minerals and their specific weathered products). The chemical analyses of the MTE in the bulk samples do not show any anthropic contamination of the amended soil with repeated sewage sludge spreading. The chemical analyses of the bulk
