Metals and Metalloids in Soil-Plant-Water Systems
Phytophysiology and Remediation Techniques
About this book
Metals and Metalloids in Soil-Plant-Water Systems: Phytophysiology and Remediation Techniques examines the impact of metal/metalloid contamination on the plant lifecycle, along with microbes present in soil. Highlighting uptake and translocation, the book also examines antioxidant, photosynthesis and growth characteristics of plants grown in metal contaminated soil. Beginning with an introduction to different sources of soil and water pollution, chapters assess the environmental cytotoxicity pollution impact on plants, as well as how the generation of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species in plant tissues is affected. The book also discusses various soil remediation methodologies, including the potential applications of metal oxidizing microbes and nanomaterials.
This is an essential resource for researchers and students interested in plant physiology, soil science, environmental science and agriculture.
- Provides a comprehensive overview of metal and metalloids speciation, fractionation, bioavailability and transfer to plants
- Analyzes properties of plants grown with excess metals/metalloids in soils
- Highlights applications of biochar and other biostimulants for sustainable metal/metalloid remediation
