Abstract: Improved understanding of the biogeochemical processes affecting the fate of nutrients is one of the keys to regulate the soil health parameters for long-term agricultural resilience and sustainability.  Various undesirable chemical agents or chemicals of environmental concern (CEC) may adversely affect the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients.  Fundamental understanding of the mechanism by which these chemical agents affect nutrient cycling can help build foundational knowledge to develop predictive tools/ models to assess long-term soil health/ agricultural sustainability and resilience parameters. Here we present a summary of the findings on the influence of veterinary antibiotics (VA) in the retention/ release mechanism of boron (B). Boron (B) is an important micronutrient for crops.  This study will provide information about the B retention/ release mechanisms in the presence of antibiotics to further our understanding of the fate of boron, and potentially other micronutrients (e.g. molybdenum), in complex biogeochemical environments in which both biotic and abiotic processes occur.
