Most arc lavas have experienced significant assimilation and fractional crystallization (AFC) during magma evolution. Although AFC processes can fundamentally change trace element and isotopic features of magma, its effect on U[uranium]-series disequilibria has not been rigorously investigated despite its importance. 7, record 1, English, - assimilation%20and%20fractional%20crystallization%20process
