We sampled 16 soils varying from a recently exposed surface serpentinite in cold regions, to Ferralsols (laterites) from a humid tropical climate including two highly contaminated soils (Ni industry). The minerals identified ranged from primary minerals to secondary phyllosilicates and lastly to Mn/Fe oxides, according to weathering intensity. Primary minerals inherited from the parent materials and secondary phyllosilicates formed in low leaching conditions had concentrations of Ni similar to the rock (0.2-0.3%). When compared to other secondary minerals, Fe oxides displayed slight Ni enrichment in moderate leaching conditions (0.4-0.8%) up to 10-fold enrichment in highly weathered Ferralsols (4-6%). Full characterization of the three factors of Ni availability in soils: the intensity (C-Ni), the quantity (E-t) and the capacity (CF) factors was achieved with IEK. For most of the soils, C-Ni and E-t varied conjointly: elevated values of these two parameters were found in soils dominated by both phyllosilicates and amorphous Fe oxides (high exchange capacity); low values were found in soils with significant amounts of well-crystallized Fe oxides (high retention capacity). In the case of anthropogenic origin, control of soil Ni availability also depends on the type of Ni-bearing minerals. %$ 068
