Lithium in Plants

  • Charles E. Anderson
Chapter

Abstract

The discovery of lithium (Li) in 1817 is attributed to J.A. Arfwedson. Bervzelius proposed the name for the element based on the Greek word lithos, meaning stone (2). Lithium is widely distributed in relatively small quantities throughout the earth’s crust. A number of studies have involved the determination of total Li in soils. Steinkoenig (3) sampled soils in the United States and found 10 to 100 ppm Li. Subsequently, Soviet investigators reported lower levels ranging from 10 to 50 ppm Li (4,5,6), while Swaine (7) found wide variation in mineral-rich soils with 8 to 400 ppm Li. However, it is improbable that the total Li in soils is available for uptake by plants. The Li that can be extracted from soils in California ranged from 0.1 to 0.9 ppm (8), while higher levels, 0.4 to 2.5 ppm, were contained in saline Indian soils (9). Insufficient information is available concerning the relationship between Li which can be extracted from the soil, and the quantity of Li absorbed by plants. Aldrich et al. (10) found increases of Li concentrations in lemon leaves with decreasing soil pH in greenhouse studies.
