Trace and Ultratrace Elements in Plants and Soil (Advances in Ecological Sciences)

Describing different aspects of the biogeochemistry of trace elements, this volume highlights elements of unknown biological significance. It focuses on the main aspects of soil chemistry, transport of trace elements form soil to plants and phytoremediation methodologies and applications. Concepts and method of analytical cheistry in trace element analysis are also reviewed with special emphasis being placed on newer and usually more sensitive methods, and quality control of determination of low concentrations.
