As a result of human activities, the amount of soil contamination caused by heavy metal(loid)s has severely increased over the last few decades and has become a worldwide environmental issue that has attracted considerable public attention. Although many research efforts have highlighted how soil contamination is a global threat and provided an overview of the importance of healthy soil, there is still a great need for additional information from different regions around the world, and concrete strategies, which can be implemented to address the causes and impacts of this major threat, urgently need to be developed. In this context, this book was launched with the scope of bringing together articles presenting the development of novel science-based methods and applications that enhance the remediation of contaminated soil by focusing on the identification of the main sources of soil contamination caused by heavy metal(loid)s (HM)/potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in different soil types; the chemistry, potential mobility, and bioavailability of the contaminants that are commonly found in contaminated soils; the assessment of the negative impacts and risks associated with HM/PTE-induced soil contamination on crop yields; soil biota, food security, and human health; and the available methods and strategies for monitoring, assessing, and remediating soils that have been contaminated by HM/PTEs. 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aACC deaminase 610 $aacid soils 610 $aadsorption 610 $aalkaline soils 610 $aanthropogenic soils 610 $abiochar 610 $abiochar application rates 610 $acadmium 610 $acontaminated paddy soil 610 $adesorption 610 $adiffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) 610 $aenrichment factor 610 $afertilizers 610 $aFreundlich 610 $aheavy metal availability 610 $aheavy metal stress 610 $aheavy metals 610 $aLangmuir 610 $alead 610 $aMediterranean soils 610 $ametal accumulation 610 $ametal dissociation time (Tc) 610 $an/a 610 $anitrogen 610 $anutrients 610 $aoptimised linear model 610 $aPGPR 610 $aPTE 610 $aredox 610 $aroad age 610 $aryegrass 610 $aselenium 610 $ashort- and long-term mechanisms 610 $aTechnosols 610 $atrace elements 610 $aurban agriculture 610 $avehicular emissions 610 $awheat assay 610 $ayield 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aGasparatos$b Dionisios$4edt$01328531 702 $aGasparatos$b Dionisios$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910566468603321 996 $aSoil Contamination by Heavy Metals and Metalloids$93038654 997 $aUNINA
