Soils with high Ni contents occur in several parts of the world,
especially in areas with ultramafic rocks which cause serious
environmental impacts. This book aims to extend the knowledge on
the risks and problems caused by elevated Ni contents and to cover
the existing gaps on issues related to various aspects and
consequences of high Ni contents in soils and plants. Nickel in
Soils and Plants brings together discussions on Ni as a trace
element and as a micronutrient essential for plant growth and its
role in plant physiology. It analyzes the biogeochemistry of Ni at
the soil plant interface, and explains its behavior in the
rhizosphere resulting in Ni deficiency or toxicity, or Ni tolerance
of various Ni hyperaccumulators. Included are Ni resources and
sources, the origin of soil Ni, its geochemical forms in soils and
their availability to plants, a special reference on soils enriched
with geogenic Ni, such as serpentine soils, and the special
characteristics of those ecosystems. Recent advancements in methods
of Ni speciation, including the macroscale and X- ray absorption
spectroscopy studies as well as serious views on Ni kinetics, are
also covered. Written by a team of internationally recognized
researchers and expert contributors, this comprehensive work
addresses the practical aspects of managing Ni in soils and plants
for agricultural production, and managing soils with high Ni levels
by using organic and inorganic amendments. The text also addresses
practical measures related to Ni toxicity in plants, the removal
and recovery of Ni from high Ni wastes, and offers environmentally
friendly innovative processes for mining Ni from soils containing
high Ni levels.
