Transport Through Soil and into Plant Roots

2 TRANSPORT OF TRACE ELEMENTS THROUGH SOIL AND INTO PLANT ROOTS 

The factors controlling the transport through soil include  

Because the importance of these factors differs between the different trace elements, predicting mobilities is complicated. The tendency to form organic 

The tendency to co-precipitate in secondary minerals also differs. Typical coprecipitates are (Sposito, 1983)  

The bioavailability of trace elements is further complicated by differences in the factors controlling transport to plant roots. These are
