TLDR
In this article, the authors proposed a classification of metal ions according to their binding preferences (i.e. whether they seek out O-, N- or S-containing ligands).

Heavy metals, occurrence and toxicity for plants: a review

TL;DR: In this article, the range of heavy metals, their occurrence and toxicity for plants, and their effects on the ecosystem is discussed, where the authors focus mainly on zinc, cadmium, copper, mercury, chromium, lead, arsenic, cobalt, nickel, manganese and iron.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biosorbents for heavy metals removal and their future

TL;DR: The biosorbents widely used for heavy metal removal were reviewed, mainly focusing on their cellular structure, biosorption performance, their pretreatment, modification, regeneration/reuse, modeling of biosor adaptation (isotherm and kinetic models), the development of novel biosorbent, their evaluation, potential application and future.

Plant responses to abiotic stresses: heavy metal‐induced oxidative stress and protection by mycorrhization

TL;DR: The present results indicate that mycorrhization stimulated the phenolic defence system in the Paxillus-Pinus mycorRhizal symbiosis and Plants in certain mycor rhizal associations are less sensitive to cadmium stress than non-mycorrhizal plants.

Effects of metals on enzyme activity in plants

TL;DR: The induction of enzymes and metal-specific changes in isoperoxidase pattern can be used as diagnostic criteria to evaluate the phytotoxicity of soils, contaminated by several metals.

Bed sediment-associated trace metals in an urban stream, Oahu, Hawaii

TL;DR: A detailed study was conducted to examine total metal contents in bed sediments from a 5.8-km stretch of Manoa Stream as mentioned in this paper, where a total of 123 samples were examined for 18 elements and 14 samples for 21 elements.

Hard and soft acids and bases

TL;DR: In this paper, the rate data for the generalized nucleophilic displacement reaction were reviewed, and the authors presented a method to estimate the rate of the generalized displacement reaction in terms of the number of nucleophiles.
