Trace Elements in Soils and Plants, Second Edition provides a solid information base regarding the biogeochemistry of trace elements in soil-plant systems. This classic reference focuses on the significance of anthropogenic factors in changing the trace element status in soils and plants. The book also emphasizes chemical equilibria and speciation phenomena relevant to the mobility of elements.
