Bioavailability of Metals in Terrestrial Ecosystems: Importance of Partitioning for Bioavailability to Invertebrates, Microbes, and Plants (Metals and the Environmental Series)

Bioavailability offers the latest
• guidance on how bioavailability considerations can be brought into the development of soil-screening levels
• approaches to create more fully developed criteria that adequately predict the effects of metals across a wide variety of soil types and metal concentrations
• literature review on determinants of partitioning metals and effects of partitioning on availability of metals to soil-dwelling invertebrates, microorganisms, and plants
• pointers for investigators who want to improve their understanding of metal bioavailability in terrestrial systems
