soil surfaces and their implications on metal sequestration and soil remediation. Chapter 3 is a timely review on effects of organic
acid exudation from roots on phosphorus uptake and aluminum tolerance of plants in acid soils. Chapter 4 discusses bamboo production
and management, including manipulation of growth and development and environmental aspects of bamboo production. Chapter 5 addresses
a significant worldwide issue - management of soils for food security and environmental quality. Chapter 6 is a comprehensive review
on the management of wheat, barley, and oat root systems.
