Impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on plant uptake of heavy metals and radionuclides from soil

  • Chapter
Impact of Arbuscular Mycorrhizas on Sustainable Agriculture and Natural Ecosystems

Part of the book series: ALS Advances in Life Sciences ((ALS))

Abstract

As a result of environmental pollution, a number of cations are deposited into soil ecosystems where they may remain for a long period of time. Among these elements are heavy metals and radionuclides.
