Dr. Manoj Shrivastava obtained his M.Sc. Degree in Agriculture with Major in Soil Science from G.B. Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pant Nagar, Uttarakhand, India and joined Nuclear Agriculture & Biotechnology Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai. He obtained his PhD degree in Soil Biochemistry from Mumbai University and did his post-doctorate from University of South Australia, Adelaide. He is Principal Scientist in ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. As a specialist in Agricultural Applications of Radioisotope Techniques he has developed a number of radiotracer techniques for application in the soil-plant continuum. His research is focused on Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, Environmental Pollution and Remediation, Environmental Nanotechnology, Agri-waste utilization and Management. He has been awarded Endeavour Research Award-2011, Government of Australia, and Fulbright-Nehru Fellowship from USIEF and Institute of International Education, Washington DC, USA and worked as Fulbright senior researcher at University of Texas at El Paso, USA.
Dr. Jose R. Peralta-Videa was an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and the Environmental Science and Engineering PhD program at the University of Texas at El Paso until February 2023. He earned a Doctor of Science degree from the Genetic Center in the Postgraduate College at Chapingo, Mexico, 1986 and a Ph.D. in Environmental Science and Engineering from The University of Texas at El Paso in 2002. His research is focused on the area of nanotoxicology, with an emphasis on the toxicity of nanoparticles in terrestrial systems. He has published more than 220 referred articles, 25 book chapters, 19 proceedings, and 4 manuals/booklets. As Senior Research Associate of Dr. Gardea-Torresdey, former Chair of the Chemistry Department, Dr. Peralta-Videa was an active member of the University of California Center for Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology (UC CEIN). UTEP was the branch of UC CEIN responsible for investigating the interaction of nanoparticles with terrestrial plants.

Nanomaterials in the Plant-Soil Continuum explores the various nanomaterials that are impacting agriculture whether through intentional or unintentional pathways. Providing a concise outlook of NMs in soil chemistry, physics, and biology, it highlights nanomaterial transformation in soil and subsequent plant uptake. Plants may be exposed to naturally generated or artificially produced nanomaterials (ENMs). They can absorb NMs from the soil through roots or leaves but return them to the soil through litter, creating an intricate network of NMs cycling in a soil-plant continuum. Understanding this NM transformation in soil and subsequent plant uptake is integral to understanding, and protecting, an ecosystem. Nanomaterials in the Plant-Soil Continuum also discusses the translocation and biotransformation of NMs in plants and their effects on plant metabolism. Considering NMs as new and emerging agrochemicals, a detailed understanding of their role in the soil-plant continuum, ecosystem functioning, and services will also be discussed. This volume in the "Nanomaterial Plant Interactions" series highlights the recent insights into the impact, fate, and transport of NMs in the soil-plant continuum and their potential impacts on soil and plant health.
