Greater or lesser increases is the way that organic matter affects trace element uptake by plants. An increase in organic matter means higher absorption of such micro-nutrients and trace elements as cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium and zinc. It simultaneously means a lesser absorption of heavy metals since the soil buffers the above-mentioned toxic pollutants.
