Historically, research on the methods and amounts of trace element
application to agriculture soils for correcting plant deficiencies
has received major attention. More recently, due to industrial
development and past disposal activities, trace elements are
considered to be important environmental contaminants that affect
all components in the atmosphere and in aquatic and terrestrial
systems. Prepared by a multi-disciplinary group of scientists,
Trace Elements in Soil: Bioavailability, Flux, and Transfer
explores and discusses emerging issues in biogeochemistry research.
The book emphasizes the role of biological and chemical
interactions and discusses the newest research and its application
to major environmental problems. It provides a concise compilation
of current research and a handy, time-saving reference. With
contributions from an international panel of authors, the book
focuses on trace element issues in developing countries and
environmentally sound techniques such as stabilization and
bioremediation. Fundamental yet complex, bioavailability can be
relatively simple to parameterize under controlled simulated
conditions. This is not always the case under field conditions. To
expand our understanding of the fate and transport of trace
elements in soils, the methods of assessing trace element
bioavailability, flux, and transfer among the different soil
components needs to be redefined and developed. Trace Elements in
Soil: Bioavailability, Flux, and Transfer is unique in its emphasis
on bioavailability and how trace element contamination ultimately
effects plants, wildlife, and human population.
