Excellent observations. You are most correct sir. For your microbiological processing file please remember. DNA microbes being bacteria and fungi partially breakdown organic compounds. They represent 30% of microbes in the soil (and also you). The RNA microbial group known as the ARCHAEA will continue the breakdown all the way to their elemental state. They also have the genetic code to remove loose ions for toxic metals. Regardless of what metal is in that soil it is now an elemental nutrient. American high schools do not inform students that all elements are nutrients. All plant and animals can only metabolize nutrients when they are in their elemental state. Heavy metals are directly responsible for initiating and maintaining all immune systems. There is an old Farmers Almanac from the 1880's that had a listing of plants that grew above the metals they were mining. So when you have any contaminated soil anywhere first eliminate loose/toxic ions with the Archaea microbes then identify the metal or metals you want brought back to acceptable levels. You may want to research plants common to your area and make a book for your farmer friends. Any details just ask.
