Functional traits as indicators of maize (Zea mays L.) strategies to cope with Zn, Pb and Cr heavy metal-induced stress

Abstract Heavy metals (HMs) contamination poses a significant threat to environmental matrices, particularly soil, which is essential for food security, agricultural productivity, and key ecosystem services. Understanding how crops respond to HMs is crucial for developing biomonitoring strategies to...
