Abstract

There is a considerable amount of information in the literature regarding the reactions of soils or individual soil components with the micronutrients that are considered essential for the growth and reproduction of plants and/or animals. Over the past decade, a great deal of attention has been directed towards problems of soil pollution involving the accumulation in soils of excess levels both of some of the essential micronutrients and some of the non-essential, potentially-toxic trace elements such as Cd and Pb. Although pollution problems are important, they tend to be localized in their occurrence and are associated with mining, industrial processing, waste disposal areas and similar sites (see Chapter 16).
