About the Book

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 from soil to plants, and phytoremediation methodologies and applications. Concepts and methods of analytical chemistry 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. The book reflects the differing opinions of the international team of contributors. Contents: Multi-Element Analysis of Plant and Soil Samples; Exploratory Multivariate Data Analysis of Soil and Plant Multi-Element Data; Processes and Factors Regulating the Behaviour and Uptake of Trace Elements in the Rhizosphere; Metal and Arsenic Bioavailability and Uptake by Hyperaccumulator Plants; Copper; Arsenic; Cadmium; Phytoremediation of Lead; Scandium; Fractionation and Bioavailability of Rare Earth Elements in Soils; Biogeochemistry of Gold: Accepted Theories and New Opportunities; Thorium.
