How do plants react to elements in the soil?<br> <br> A vital question, particulary in today's world of increasing environmental contamination...<br> <br> The answer can be found in this book. It has an extraordinarily broad basis, compiling up-to-date information from numerous specialist disciplines. Key articles are devoted to<br> - Soil Chemistry and Bioavailability<br> - Metal-tolerant Plants<br> - Metalloenzymes<br> - Toxic Effects of Metals<br> - Radionuclides <br> <br> Moreover emphasis is placed on environmental aspects, with detailed considerations of plants that hyperaccumulate heavy metals and plants that are indicators for pollution. A discussion of experimental techniques rounds off the book. They include sampling, sample preparation, analytical methods and aspects of quality assurance.<br> <br> All in all a valuable forum for the exchange of current thinking across a broad spectrum of disciplines.
