Effect of Trace Elements in Soils and Its Management

Some trace elements are essential ingredients for plant progress as well as human and animal health, and they occur naturally in soils. At high concentrations, however, all trace elements become potentially hazardous. They are found in modest amounts (less than 1000 mg/kg) in organisms; however, they exert magnificent biological impact, as nutrients and environmental factor. In this chapter, we have discussed the various effects of trace elements in soils and their assessment and management via various methods, e.g. photostabilisation technique. The knowledge of trace element and its limitation will be essential for the management of the soil and environmental contamination. The present compilation of the data gives the information regarding its various techniques, which will be beneficial to maintain the ecosystem of the environment and the soils. The various research papers with the scientific explanation have been covered to get the concrete information to justify the title. Moreover, the chapter provides the limitation of the trace elements, which is directly related to clinical aspects as well as the phytomanagement of soil and its management. Similarly, related studies recently conducted on soluble as well insoluble trace elements and their soil extraction along with their clinical effects are summarised in the chapter.
