Informationen zum Autor Gary S. Banuelos, Zhi-Qing Lin Klappentext Nutritionally important trace elements! essential for human health! are both deficient and over-abundant in soils in many regions of the world. Using a multidisciplinary approach! this book provides new strategies and techniques for the production of bioforitfied agricultural products from different soils. Contributors explore the effects of both environmental and biological factors on the accumulation and speciation of nutritionally important trace elements in agricultural products. Other chapters address alternative biosources and bioproducts produced from phytoremediation processes. The text also examines bioavailability and the effects of bioproduct compounds.
