Aquatic plants can sequester As from soils, sediments and directly from water. Temperature, pH, redox potential and nutrient availability affect this sequestration (Robinson et al. 2006), but aquatic plants can control the local conditions. Arsenic is adsorbed to the surface of plant roots via physiochemical reactions. A positive correlation between As and Fe concentrations is consistent with As being incorporated into HFO on the surface of plants. Plant roots at NBM generally have >1000 mg/kg dw As. Plant roots contain 4-5 orders of magnitude more As than surface water or sediments at the same location. 

The demonstration that eclectic mechanisms have been evolved by insects for coping with the potentially toxic concomitants of their ingested nutrients necessitates careful analyses of the processing of each of these compounds by each adapted herbivore. Furthermore, it is important to realize that in Itself, sequestration is nothing more than an end product of a series of reactions that may reflect selective absorption, metabolism of specific compounds, and excretion of selected allelochemics ). In the present review, these diverse processing strategies will be explored in order to illustrate the various ways in which a multitude of herbivores accommodate potential plant toxins. IVo lepidopterous species will be used as models which, hopefully, will emphasize both the elegance and complexity identified with insects as processors of plant-derived compounds.

Fig. 10.8. Simple biogeochemical model for metal mineral transformations in the mycorhizosphere (the roles of the plant and other microorganisms contributing to the overall process are not shown). (1) Proton-promoted (proton pump, cation-anion antiport, organic anion efflux, dissociation of organic acids) and ligand-promoted (e.g. organic adds) dissolution of metal minerals. (2) Release of anionic (e.g. phosphate) nutrients and metal cations. (3) Nutrient uptake. (4) Intra- and extracellular sequestration of toxic metals biosorption, transport, compartmentation, predpitation etc. (5) Immobilization of metals as oxalates. (6) Binding of soluble metal species to soil constituents, e.g. clay minerals, metal oxides, humic substances.

Our analysis focuses on three measures of secondary forest development biomass accumulation, nutrient accumulation, and hydrological recovery. We choose biomass accumulation, because it is the best integrative measure of secondary forest development, it is the basis for estimates of carbon sequestration by secondary forests, and it is the most frequently measured secondary forest parameter. An analysis of nutrient accumulation allows us to examine the commonly held assumption that nutrient shortages limit rates of secondary forest recovery (e.g. Gehring et al. 1999, Tucker et al. 1998). Although hydrological recovery in secondary forests is poorly documented in... 

In the polar ocean, both export production and nutrient status must be known to determine the impact on atmospheric CO2, because both of these terms are needed to determine the ratio of CO2 supply from deep water to CO2 sequestration by export production (Figure 7). For instance, a decrease in export production associated with an increase in surface nutrients would imply an increased leak in the biological pump, whereas a decrease in export production associated with reduced nutrient availability would imply a smaller leak in the pump. In low-latitude regions of upwelling, nutrient status is less important from the perspective of the global biological pump. Nevertheless, since nutrient status is potentially variable in these environments, it must be constrained to develop a tractable list of explanations for an observed change in productivity.
