Abstract
Behaviour of trace metals in soils depends upon complex reactions among micro-and macro cations and anions, and different components of various soil phases: solid, aqueous and gaseous. The main features of the soil biogeochemical system governing the behaviour of trace elements are: (1) heterogeneous distribution of compounds and components; (2) seasonal and spatial alteration of major soil variables; (3) transformation of element species; (4) transfer between phases; and (5) bioaccumulation.
