Mean+hile, soils are the reservoir for many harmful &onstituents, elemental an# ,iolo!i&al, in&lu#in! heavy metals an# tra&e metals, hen&eforth referre# to as *ust metals -1.. /otal metal &ontent of soils is useful for many !eo&hemi&al appli&ations ,ut often the spe&iation 0,ioavaila,ility1 of these metals is more of an interest a!ri&ulturally in terms of +hat is ,iolo!i&ally e2tra&ta,le -2.. 3pe&iation is #efine# as the i#entifi&ation an# 'uantifi&ation of the #ifferent, #efine# spe&ies, forms or phases in +hi&h an element o&&urs -3. an# is essentially a fun&tion of the mineralo!y an# &hemistry of the soil sample e2amine# -4.. 5uantifi&ation is typi&ally #one usin! &hemi&al solutions of varyin!, ,ut spe&ifi&, stren!ths an# rea&tivities to release metals from the #ifferent fra&tions of the e2amine# soil -5.. 6n terms of ,ioavaila,ility, various spe&ies of metals are more ,iolo!i&ally availa,le in the e&osystem -6.. 7ioavaila,ility an# the mo,ility of metals are also relate# to ea&h otehr, then thhi!her the &on&entration of mo,ile to2i& metals 0Cu, 8,, C#, an# 9l1 in the soil &olumn +hi&h in&reases the potential for plant upta:e, an# animal;human &onsumption -3, <, =.. >eavy metals ta:e part in ,io!eo&hemi&al &y&les an# are not permanently fi2e# in soils? therefore, assessment of their #istri,ution in soils is a :ey issue in many environmental stu#ies -@.. >eavy metals are in&lu#e# in soil minerals as +ell as ,oun# to #ifferent phases of soil parti&les ,y a variety of me&hanisms, mainly a,sorption, ion e2&han!e, &opre&ipitation an# &omple2ation.
