Trace element bioavailability

Bioavailable trace elements in soil correlate with plant uptake and concentrations in plants. Extractants for bioavailable trace elements include chelating agents, diluted inorganic acid, neutral salt solutions, and water (Table 7.2). The most popular extractant for bioavailable trace elements in arid and semi-arid soils is DTPA-TEA (triethanolamine), which was developed by Lindsay and Norvell (1969, 1978) to extract available Cu, Zn, Fe and Mn from neutral and calcareous soils. Use of this chelating agent, DTPA, is based on the fact that it has the most favorable combination of stability constants for simultaneous complexation of Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn... [Pg.229]

Han and Banin (1997, 1999) and Han et al. (2001a) found that concentrations of bioavailable trace elements (Cu, Ni and Zn, as extracted by NH4NO3 at pH 7) in general, decreased with time in two Israeli arid soils contaminated with metal salts under the saturated paste, field capacity, and wetting-drying cycle moisture regimes for one year (Fig. 7.6). However, the bioavailability of trace elements was strongly dependent upon the nature of... [Pg.242]

Bioavailable trace elements in world arid and semi-arid soils vary widely, depending upon the nature of the parent materials, soil pH, CaC03 and clay content, and soil texture. The contents of bioavailable trace elements in arid and semi-arid soils of selected countries are presented in Table 7.6. The data are recalculated from Sillanpaa (1982) and cited from Liu (1996), Han and Banin (1997, 1999) and many others. [Pg.253]

Cmde oil and refined products are readily biodegradable under aerobic conditions, but they are only incomplete foods siace they lack any significant nitrogen, phosphoms, and essential trace elements. Bioremediation strategies for removing large quantities of hydrocarbon must therefore iaclude the addition of fertilisers to provide these elements la a bioavailable form. [Pg.29]

The list of elements and their species listed above is not exhaustive. It is limited to the relatively simple compounds that have been determined by an important number of laboratories specializing in speciation analysis. Considering the economic importance of the results, time has come to invest in adequate CRMs. There is a steadily increasing interest in trace element species in food and in the gastrointestinal tract where the chemical form is the determinant factor for their bioavailability (Crews 1998). In clinical chemistry the relevance of trace elements will only be fully elucidated when the species and transformation of species in the living system have been measured (ComeUs 1996 Cornelis et al. 1998). Ultimately there will be a need for adequate RMs certified for the trace element species bound to large molecules, such as proteins. [Pg.83]

The book focuses on the biogeochemistry of trace elements in arid and semiarid zone soils and includes an introductory chapter on the nature and properties of arid zone soils. It presents an updated overview and a comprehensive coverage of the major aspects of trace elements and heavy metals that are of most concern in the world s arid and semi-arid soils. These include the content and distribution of trace elements in arid soils, their solution chemistry, their solid-phase chemistry, selective sequential dissolution techniques for trace elements in arid soils, the bioavailability of trace elements, and the pollution and remediation of contaminated arid soils. A comprehensive and focused case study on transfer fluxes of trace elements in Israeli arid and semi-arid soils is presented. The book concludes with a discussion of a quantitative global perspective on anthropogenic interferences in the natural trace elements distributions. The elements discussed in this book include Cd, Cu, Cr, Ni, Pb, Zn, Hg, As, Se, Co, B, Mo and others. This book is an excellent reference for students and professionals in the environmental, ecological, agricultural and geological sciences. [Pg.1]

Soil solution is the aqueous phase of soil. It is in the pore space of soils and includes soil water and soluble constituents, such as dissolved inorganic ions and dissolved organic solutes. Soil solution accommodates and nourishes many surface and solution reactions and soil processes, such as soil formation and decomposition of organic matter. Soil solution provides the source and a channel for movement and transport of nutrients and trace elements and regulates their bioavailability in soils to plants. Trace element uptake by organisms and transport in natural systems typically occurs through the solution phase (Traina and Laperche, 1999). [Pg.69]

In addition, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is also an important soil solution solute affecting speciation and bioavailability of many trace elements in soil solution. Many trace elements and heavy metals complex with dissolved organic carbon. This is especially important in arid and semi-arid environments since high soil pH increases the solubility of organic molecules and accordingly increases concentrations of dissolved organic carbon in soil solution. [Pg.70]

Dissolved organic molecules have many acidic functions (hydroxol and carbonic groups) to complex trace elements and their compounds to form soluble chelates. This is one of the reasons why solubility and bioavailability of trace elements in the rhizosphere are higher than bulk soils. At the same time, many organic acids also directly dissolve trace elements and their compounds in soils. Plant-produced phytosiderophores facilitate elements, such as Fe and Zn, uptake by plants (Zhang et al., 1991 Romheld, 1991 Hopkins et al., 1998). However, Shenker et al. (2001) did not find significant uptake of the Cd-phytosiderophores complex by plant roots. [Pg.103]

Plant roots and root-induced chemical changes in the rhizosphere strongly affect the bioavailability of trace elements (Hinsinger, 1999). First, root-induced changes in the ionic equilibria influence the bioavailability of trace elements. The differential rates of plant uptake of water and ions in the soil solution result in a depletion or an accumulation of the ions in the... [Pg.227]

Because trace element concentrations in the soil solution of arid soils are very low, the exchangeable trace elements on various solid-phase components become important in supplying plants. Among various solid-phase components, the exchangeable trace elements are the most bioavailable... [Pg.234]
