This review emphasises cadmium toxicity on plants with regards to ecological, physiological
and biochemical aspects. Cadmium toxicity in plants and problems concerning tolerance …

In areas that remain unaffected by industrial pollution soil acidification is mainly caused by
the release of protons (H+) during the oxidation of carbon (C), sulphur (S) and nitrogen (N) …

This is a completely revised edition of the previously titled Solute Movement in the Soil-Root

present in a number of complex organic molecules and plays extremely important roles in …

Plants that absorb nitrogen as NO 3− tend to raise the pH in the rhizosphere. Those
absorbing nitrogen as NH 4+ or N 2 lower the pH. The change in pH near the root surface …

The assimilationof ammonium ion in plant cell cytoplasm produces at least one H+ per NH+
4; N2 fixation generates 0.1‐0.2 H+ per N assimilated; NO‐3 assimilation produces almost …
