Copper Accumulation in Vineyard Soils: Distribution, Fractionation and Bioavailability Assessment

Abstract

The paper is focused on the following issues: why we need to study trace metals in soils, sources and behaviour of copper in soils ; anthropogenic inputs and copper contamination of cultivated soils, fractionation and bioavailability of copper in soils ; with a case study: Spatial distribution of copper concentrations in vineyard soils of Croatia: Wine– growing subregion of Plesivica
