destruction is the destruction of the environment through depletion of natural resources and pollution. The planets natural ecosystems and regenerating bio-capacity are being severely degraded and as a result this compromises the ability of the planet to sustain life. Forests‚ fisheries‚ oceans‚ rangeland‚ freshwater systems (lakes‚ wetlands‚ rivers) and other natural ecosystems are all threatened whilst many are on the verge of collapse.

The transfer of trace elements between soil and plant is part of chemical element cycling in the nature. The mobility and availability of trace elements are controlled by many factor of Climatic‚ biological and geochemical origins in nature. That means‚ to predict the uptake of trace elements by plants from soil it is important to look at several biotic and abiotic parameters the affect and control the behavior of elements in the soil. The risk to environment and human health of a given trace metals
