Copper is an essential metal for plants. It plays key roles in photosynthetic and respiratory
electron transport chains, in ethylene sensing, cell wall metabolism, oxidative stress …

Free of human interference the soil trace element content is largely dependent on that of the
soil parent material and acting weathering processes. An increasingly industrialised society …

Soil organic nitrogen (N) is a critical resource for plants and microbes, but the processes that
govern its cycle are not well-described. To promote a holistic understanding of soil N …

This new edition provides current information on the nutritional requirements of world crops.
It presents research on the acquisition, accumulation, transport, and functions of chemical …

Plant-assisted bioremediation or phytoremediation holds promise for in situ treatment of
polluted soils. Enhancement of phytoremediation processes requires a sound …

Arsenic (As) is classified as a Class A human carcinogen and has gained a substantial
attention in recent years owing to its high levels currently observed in the environment and …

This work assessed in situ, copper (Cu) uptake and phytotoxicity for durum wheat (Triticum
turgidum durum L.) cropped in a range of Cu-contaminated, former vineyard soils (pH 4.2 …

We studied the sorption of As (III) and As (V) onto ferrihydrite as affected by pH, nature and
concentration of organic [oxalic (OX), malic (MAL), tartaric (TAR), and citric (CIT) acid] and …

Metal contamination of soils is ubiquitous around the globe. Metals enter the soil due to
anthropogenic activities such as the use of sewage sludge, urban composts, fertilizers …
