Nanomaterials in the Plant-Soil Continuum explores the various nanomaterials that are impacting agriculture whether through intentional or unintentional pathways. Providing a concise outlook of NMs in soil chemistry, physics, and biology, it highlights nanomaterial transformation in soil and subsequent plant uptake. Plants may be exposed to naturally generated or artificially produced nanomaterials (ENMs). They can absorb NMs from the soil through roots or leaves but return them to the soil through litter, creating an intricate network of NMs cycling in a soil-plant continuum. Understanding this NM transformation in soil and subsequent plant uptake is integral to understanding, and protecting, an ecosystem. Nanomaterials in the Plant-Soil Continuum also discusses the translocation and biotransformation of NMs in plants and their effects on plant metabolism. Considering NMs as new and emerging agrochemicals, a detailed understanding of their role in the soil-plant continuum, ecosystem functioning, and services will also be discussed. This volume in the "Nanomaterial Plant Interactions" series highlights the recent insights into the impact, fate, and transport of NMs in the soil-plant continuum and their potential impacts on soil and plant health.
