摘要: According to previous studies, the use of enrichment factors in environmental studies is inconsistent with its original concept and that such indiscriminate should be stopped. In this contribution, it shown through spatial correlation analysis using no better than log-ratios geochemical data for mapping deposit-related anomalies.
