Logi Trace

Authors: Flicker, Yuval
A synthesis of two decades worth of research, combining results from Arthur’s many articles into one cohesive and accessible text
Author introduces the material in stages, balancing the need to motivate the reader while exploring the larger, more technical details
Will be a valuable resource as both a reference for researchers and as a tool for advanced graduate students in this area

Biogeochemistry of Trace Metals is a compendium of the most recent information available on the effects of trace metals in soil quality and its potential threat on the transfer of these contaminants to consumers.

The authors review the key features of trace elements in soils, plants and the food web on which human beings survive. Currently, the quality of food is highlighted and has become a subject of broad studies of various disciplines. Minor inorganic constituents of food, trace elements, are of special interest due to their specific properties in both abiotic and biotic environmental compartments. Hence, there is a need for comprehensive information on the distribution of trace elements in given environmnetal compartments and organisms.
