Abstract
Recycling of oceanic and continental materials in subduction zones necessitates the incorporation of recycling explicitly into models for mantle-crust evolution. Isotopic and chemical constraints show that elements like Rb, U, Th and Pb will have very short residence times (0.1–1.0 Ga) in the mantle and be close to steady state. In contrast, elements like Sr, Nd, Sm, Hf and Lu will have much longer residence times (5–10 Ga) and be far from steady state.
