Ninety years after the start of the Askov long-term fertilization experiment on sandy loam, bulk soil was taken from the 0–20 cm and 30–35 cm depths of unfertilized (UNF), animal-manure (FYM) treated and mineral-fertilized (NPK) plots and analysed for textural composition, carbon content, pH, CEC, particle density and plasticity limits. Undisturbed soil cores (100 cm3) from the 8–12 cm layer were brought to six different matric potentials and subjected to confined uniaxial compression, drop-cone penetration and annulus shear tests. Water-retention curves based on seven matric potentials were produced for undisturbed cores from the 8–12 and 30–35 cm layers. In the field, in situ shear strength of plough-layer soil was determined by a vane shear tester and a torsional shear box. FYM and NPK treatments increased the soil organic carbon content by 23 and 11% of the amount in UNF, respectively. Corresponding increases observed in CEC were 17 and 11%. The water content at the lower and upper plastic limits both decreased from FYM to NPK to UNF. Soil bulk density in the 0-20 cm layer was reduced in FYM and NPK treatments relative to UNF, whereas the volume of soil pores larger than 30 μm was unaffected by past fertilization. Soil receiving animal manure showed the greatest soil strength when exposed to annulus shear, drop-cone penetration and confined uniaxial compression tests, Shear strength measurements indicated that the UNF sandy loam soil reacted like a sand, the increase in soil strength upon drying primarily being due to increased internal friction. In contrast, soil from FYM and NPK treatments showed reactions typical of a loamy soil, the increase in soil strength during drying being caused by increased cohesion in the soil matrix. The field tests employed were unable to detect the management-induced differences in soil physical parameters found in the laboratory tests. This study shows that physical soil properties related to conditions for tillage and traffic, to crop development and erosion are significantly influenced by differences in soil organic matter levels resulting from contrasting methods of fertilizer management. Exhausting a loamy soil by long-term lack of fertilizer application severely affects the physical properties of the soil.  相似文献

Soil strength and water content are important indices for assessing soil resistance to root growth and soil compaction both of which affect other soil properties. Therefore, simultaneous measurement of soil penetration resistance (PR) and soil water content can aid agricultural land management. We measured PR with a conventional cone penetrometer, followed immediately by determining water content using a modified TDR probe inserted into the penetrometer hole. From the results of a field feasibility test, soil water content was measured satisfactorily and correlated well with data obtained by the gravimetric method, except for those data from near the surface owing to soil disturbance when the cone penetrometer was extracted after the PR measurements. Field results demonstrate that PR and soil water content have three‐dimensional variability, with a markedly different distribution pattern between cultivated and subsoil layers at the field scale. Overall, the variability in the PR and soil water data is similar to that reported in previous studies. We conclude that our method produces results helpful to field management of soil and water because it is based on a simple and easy technique for the simultaneous measurement of soil water content and PR.  相似文献

A torsional shear box, shear vane. cone penetrometer, drop-cone penetrometer and pocket penetrometer were used to measure soil strength at several depths less than 150 mm in cultivated and uncultivated seedbeds in a loam and a sandy clay loam. From the shear box results, cohesion was higher and the angle of friction was lower in the sandy clay loam than in the loam. Angle of friction was independent of cultivation but cohesion was higher in uncultivated than in cultivated soil. Despite these differences cone resistance was similar in both soils above 70 mm depth. Vane shear strength and drop-cone penetration, although empirical, indicated strength differences between soils and cultivations similar to those found with the torsional shear box. Vane shear strength, at 42 kPa, was about twice as high as cohesion in the sandy clay loam and, at 33 kPa, over four times as high as cohesion in the loam. These overestimates increased with increasing bulk density. The range of measurement of the pocket penetrometer was inadequate to cover the range of soil strengths encountered. The coefficient of variation within plots for cone resistance decreased from 76 per cent at 10 mm depth to about 22 per cent at 70 mm depth and below, and for vane shear strength it was 33 per cent near the soil surface. The drop-cone penetrometer results were the most variable, reflecting the log-normal distribution of penetrations. The cone penetrometer was the fastest method, followed by the shear vane, drop-cone penetrometer and torsional shear box in that order.  相似文献

Abstract

Accurate and rapid methods for in situ measurement of soil water content of field soils are required for assessment of plant growth conditions, crop water balance, and irrigation scheduling. Advances in electronics have made possible the recent development of a commercially available non‐nuclear resonant frequency capacitance probe (Troxler Sentry 200‐AP) for measuring water content of various materials. However, the performance of this probe to measure soil water content of the field soils in situ has not been widely reported. This study was undertaken to identify the need for field calibration and to understand the calibration process and evaluate the performance of the capacitance probe. A field calibration curve for a Uchee loamy sand was made for the Sentry 200‐AP probe. In situ volumetric soil water content obtained using this calibration curve differed markedly from those obtained using the factory calibration provided with the probe. The capacitance probe was found to be more sensitive at the lower range (<40%) of soil volumetric water content. However it appears to be reliable and to give reproducible results.  相似文献

Abstract

Resonant frequency capacitance techniques have been recently developed as a safe and reliable method for measuring water content of various materials. A previous study with a commercial capacitance probe (Troxler Sentry 200‐AP) showed it to be a safe, reliable, and a rapid method of in situ measurement of soil water content in the field provided it is calibrated for individual soils. Further testing of this resonant frequency capacitance probe was done to evaluate the performance of the probe by comparing results of field measured crop water use to those reported in similar studies using other methods of determining in situ soil water content in the field. These tests were done in two field experiments which were conducted during the summer of 1994 using corn and sorghum as the indicator crops. The experimental field was the same used to calibrate the capacitance probe in the previous study. Treatments consisted of three plant populations of corn and four plant populations in two cultivars of grain sorghum. The crop water use for corn and sorghum averaged over all treatments were 452 and 424 mm, respectively. The measured crop water use values for corn and sorghum were comparable to the crop water use values reported in several similar previous studies using different in situ soil water measuring instruments.  相似文献

Abstract

Crops can be effectively grown on hardpan soils and water effectively used from deep in the profile if hard layers in soils can be penetrated or if they are broken up by tillage. Addition of gypsum to the soil or exploitation of genetic differences in root penetrability may help improve root penetration through hard layers with less need to depend on the energy requirements of deep tillage. To test this theory, a single‐grained Ap horizon of Norfolk loamy sand soil was compacted into soil columns to compare root penetrability of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] genotypes Essex and PI 416937 in the presence and absence of gypsum and at two soil compaction levels (columns with uniform compaction at 1.4 g cm‐1 and columns with increasing compaction with depth from 1.4 to 1.75 g cm‐1). Compaction treatments were imposed by constructing soil columns composed of 2.5‐cm‐deep, 7.5‐cm‐diameter cylindrical cores compacted to predetermined bulk densities (1.40,1.55,1.65,and 1.75 g cm.3). Soil penetration resistances were measured on duplicate cores using a 3‐mm‐diameter cone‐tipped penetrometer. Columns were not watered during the study; soybean genotypes were grown in the columns until they died. Both genotypes lived one day longer in columns with lower bulk density and penetration resistance. Although root growth was more abundant for Essex than for PI 416937, root growth of PI 416937 was not decreased by compaction as much as it was for Essex. These results suggest that PI 416937 may possess the genetic capability to produce more root growth in soils with high penetration resistance. This study suggests that genetic improvement for root growth in soils with hard or acidic layers may potentially reduce our dependence on tillage. Gypsum did not affect root growth in this study.  相似文献

Different procedures to investigate dissolved trace element concentration at the transition from unsaturated to saturated zone in soils were compared by concurrent sampling of soil solution and solid soil material in this zone. The in situ sampled soil solution from the percolated water was used to measure in situ concentrations, while solid soil material was used to measure concentrations at two liquid–solid ratios using batch experiments on 250 sample pairs. The liquid–solid ratios were 2 L kg–1 and 5 L kg–1. At 5 L kg–1, the ionic strength was adjusted with Ca(NO3)2 to a sample‐specific value similar to in situ, while at 2 L kg–1, the ionic strength was not adjusted. The extracted concentrations of most trace elements exhibited a statistically significant but weak correlation (p value < 0.01) to the corresponding in situ concentrations. In the liquid–solid ratio of 2 L kg–1 extracts, Pb and Cr showed very poor comparability with the in situ equivalent. A likely cause was the enhanced dissolved‐organic‐C release in the extract due to the lower ionic strength compared to in situ conditions in combination with effects from drying and moistening soil samples. For the other elements, correlation increased in the order As < Cu, Zn, Sb, Mo, V < Cd, Ni, Co where adjustment of the ionic strength led to slightly better results. In addition to the element‐specific shortcomings, it appeared that low concentration levels of in situ concentrations were generally underestimated by batch extraction methods. The liquid–solid ratio of 2 L kg–1 extracts could only be used as a method to predict exceedance of thresholds if a safety margin of approximately one order of magnitude higher than the thresholds was adopted. The ability of the batch‐extraction methods to estimate in situ concentrations was equally limited.  相似文献

To interpret experimental results from installations of horizontal piezometers for the purpose of obtaining in situ estimates of hydraulic conductivity of saturated soils below the water table, shape factors for a range of cylindrical cavities at the ends of piezometers were obtained using an electric analogue. Those for the particular piezometers used in a field experiment in a clay soil were obtained in the same way and found to be smaller because of the limited number of perforations in the tip forming the cavity. Hydraulic conductivity values obtained with the piezometers were similar to those obtained in laboratory measurements on undisturbed cores of the same soil.  相似文献

Soil water repellency is usually unstable, as exemplified by the common method of quantifying repellency degree – the water drop penetration time (WDPT) test. Dynamic penetration and infiltration of water into repellent soils is generally attributed to either reduction of the solid‐liquid interfacial energy (γSL) or reduction of the liquid‐vapour interfacial energy (γLV), or both. The reduction of γSL can result from conformation changes, hydration, or rearrangement of organic molecules coating soil particle surfaces as a result of contact with water, while the reduction of γLV can result from dissolution of soil‐borne surface active organic compounds into the water drop. The purpose of this study was to explicitly test the role of the second mechanism in dynamic wetting processes in unstably repellent soils, by examining the drop penetration time (DPT) of water extracts from repellent soils obtained after varying extraction times and at different soil : water ratios. It was indeed found that soil extracts had lower surface tensions (γLV approx. 51–54 mN m−1) than distilled water. However, DPT of the soil extracts in water repellent soils was generally the same or greater than that of water. Salt solutions with the same electrical conductivity and monovalent/divalent cation ratio as the soil extracts, but lacking surface active organic substances, had the same DPT as did the extracts. In contrast, DPT of ethanol solutions prepared with the same γLV, electrical conductivity, and monovalent/divalent cation ratio as the soil extracts, was much faster. Ethanol solutions are usually used as an agent to reduce γLV and as such, to reduce DPT. It is concluded that the surface‐active, soil‐derived organic substances in aqueous soil extracts do not contribute to wetting dynamics, and as such, this mechanism for explaining kinetics of water penetration into water repellent soils is rejected. It is also concluded that the rapid penetration of ethanol solutions must be due not only to changes in γLV, but to also to changes in either or both γSL and the solid‐vapour interfacial energy (γSV). These results stand in sharp contrast to well‐accepted logical paradigms.  相似文献

Depending on the top and subsoil textures, semi-arid soils exhibit cohesive and frictional properties that are associated with the relatively high soil strength, bulk density and penetration resistance. The objective of this study was to gain the knowledge of mechanical properties of the compacting chromic luvisols in order to improve the design of tillage tools. Therefore, we applied critical state soil mechanics to study the stress–strain behaviour of the luvisols using triaxial tests under laboratory conditions. Field investigations involved random collection of undisturbed soil samples which were subjected to triaxial testing first by isotropic consolidation and compression and then triaxial shearing. Plots of deviatoric stress against axial strain were made to determine the soil shear strengths at the critical states over different soil water levels and the two soil depths of 0–20 cm for the plough and 20–40 cm for the hard pan layers, respectively. An exponential model used to fit the deviatoric stress–axial strain test data accurately predicted the trends. Soil water significantly influenced the shear strength, cohesion (c′) and internal angle of friction (′) and hence the mechanical behaviour of the luvisols. The regression equations developed showed that c′ and ′ have quadratic relationships with soil water. The very high clay bonding strength in the subsoil (hard pan) layer resulted in high shear strength, bulk density and penetration resistance values for this soil layer. The increase in shear strength with decreasing water content affected the deviatoric stress–axial strain relationships between the upper and lower plastic limits of the sandy soil. Thus, as the soil dried, the soil ceased to behave in the plastic (ductile flow) manner and thus began to break apart and crumble. The crumbling was indicative of brittle failure. The transition stage from an increase to a decrease in c′ and ′ values with soil water occurred in the soil water content range of 6–10%. Knowledge of stress–strain behaviour of compacting soils is of practical significance in the design of appropriate tillage tools for the specific soil type.  相似文献

An apparatus was constructed to measure diffusivity of krypton-85 and gas permeability in an enclosed core of soil of field structure or in other porous material. Sample enclosure decreased water loss by evaporation, reduced mass flow caused by changes in ambient temperature and pressure during diffusion measurement, and allowed subsequent measurement of gas permeability without further sample disturbance. When a bundle of tubes was used as a test sample to calibrate the apparatus, the resistances to diffusion and viscous flow agreed approximately with those calculated from the tube size and number. Gas movement was measured in dry sieved soil and in undisturbed cores of silty loam soil to illustrate the practical value of the method. In the dry cores, diffusivity relative to free air (DA/Do) was greater in ploughed soil, 0.18, than in direct drilled soil, 0.14, nearly in proportion to the greater air porosity in the ploughed soil, but air permeability in ploughed soil was four times greater than in direct drilled soil and was about 1 000 times greater than in compacted sieved soil.  相似文献

Undisturbed soil cores were taken from different slope positions （upslope, backslope and footslope） and soil depths （0-15, 20-35 and 100-115 cm） in a soil catena derived from Quaternary red clay to determine the spatial changes in soil strength along the eroded slope and to ewluate an indicator to determine soil strength during compaction. Precompression stress, as an indicator of soil strength, significantly increased from topsoil layer to subsoil layer （P 〈0.05） and was affected by slope position. In the subsoil layer （20-35 cm）, the precompression stress at the footslope position was significantly greater than at the backslope and upslope positions （P 〈0.05）, while there were no significant differences at 0-15 and 100-115 cm. Precompression stress followed the spatial wriation of soil clay content with soil depth and had a significant linear relationship with soil porosity （r^2 = 0.40, P 〈 0.01）. Also, soil cohesion increased with increasing soil clay content. The precompression stress was significantly related to the applied stress corresponding to the highest change of pore water pressure （r^2 = 0.69, P 〈 0.01）. These results suggested that soil strength induced by soil erosion and soil management wried spatially along the slope and the maximum change in pore water pressure during compaction could be an easy indicator to describe soil strength.  相似文献

Soil crusting was characterized by means of direct measurement of penetration resistance with a needle type penetrometer at intervals of 0.1 mm over a depth of 15 mm in intact soil samples, treated with soil stabilizers or not, as a function of soil water content and bulk density. Relationships were established between the penetration resistance of the needle and standard cones of 60° angle and 1 cm2 or 26.4 mm2 base area. The effect of water content was stronger in dense than in loose soil.The effect of soil surface strength on the emergence of salsify (Scorzonera hispanica) was monitored in a field experiment on a loamy sand of which the natural crust was stabilized with soil conditioners. The penetration resistance was affected by the nature of the soil stabilizers as some created more or less hydrophobic and spongy crusts. Seedling emergence was negatively correlated with the penetration resistance and positively with the water content of the crust.  相似文献

Simple models describing nitrogen processes are required both to estimate nitrogen mineralization in field conditions and to predict nitrate leaching at large scales. We have evaluated such a model called LIXIM, which allows calculation of nitrogen mineralization and leaching from bare soils, assuming that these are the dominant processes affecting N in bare soil. LIXIM is a layered, functional model, with a 1-day time step. Input data consist of frequent measurements of water and mineral N contents in soil cores, standard meteorological data and simple soil characteristics. The nitrate transport is simulated using the ‘mixing-cells’ approach. The variations in N mineralization with temperature and moisture are accounted for, providing calculation of the ‘normalized time’. An optimization routine is used to estimate the actual evaporation and the N mineralization rates that provide the best fit between observed and simulated values of water and nitrate contents in all measured soil layers. The model was evaluated in two field experiments (on loamy and chalky soils) including treatments, lasting 9–20 months. The water and nitrate contents in soil were satisfactorily simulated in both sites, and all treatments, including a 15N tracer experiment performed in the loamy soil. In the chalky soil, the calculated water balance agreed well with drainage results obtained in lysimeters and independent estimates of evaporation. At both sites, N mineralization was reduced by the incorporation of crop residues (wheat or oilseed rape straw); the amounts of nitrogen immobilized varied between 20 and 35 kg N ha?1. In the treatments without crop residues, the mineralization rate followed first-order kinetics (against normalized time) in the loamy soil, and zero-order kinetics in the chalky soil. In the latter soil, the mineralization kinetics calculated in situ were close to the kinetics measured in laboratory conditions when both were expressed against normalized time.  相似文献

Conventional methods of measuring labile chemical species of trace metals in soil solutions, such as chemical competition following centrifuging, are inadequate if the speciation changes during sampling and extraction. A new technique, diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT), measures labile species of trace metals in natural waters and sediments in situ. A well-defined diffusive gel layer distinguishes it from other resin-based techniques. It perturbs the soil in a controlled way by introducing an in situ local sink for metal ions. Resulting fluxes to the device are quantitatively measured, allowing assessment of re-supply kinetics and in some cases measurement of in situ soil solution concentrations. We used DGT to measure fluxes of Cd, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in a sludge-treated soil at various moisture contents (27–106%). Replicate measurements showed that the precision of DGT-measured fluxes was within 10%. For moisture contents exceeding the field capacity (42%), the DGT response reflected soil water concentrations. At smaller moisture contents, changes related to tortuosity and dilution were reflected in the measurements. This technique has the potential for in situ measurements in the field where it should provide quantitative flux data on individual soils and provide a good surrogate for bioavailable metal.  相似文献

Abstract. Recent developments in in situγ ray spectrometry offer a new approach to measuring the activity of radionuclides such as 137Cs and 40K in soils, and thus estimating erosion or deposition rates and field moist bulk density (ρm). Such estimates would be rapid and involve minimal site disturbance, especially important where archaeological remains are present. This paper presents the results of a pilot investigation of an eroded field in Scotland in which a portable hyper pure germanium (HPGe) detector was used to measure γ ray spectra in situ. The gamma (γ) photon flux observed at the soil surface is a function of the 137Cs inventory, its depth distribution characteristics and ρm. A coefficient, QCs, derived from the forward scattering of 137Cs γ ray photons within the soil profile relative to the 137Cs full energy peak (662 keV), was used to correct the in situ calibration for changes in the 137Cs vertical distribution in the ploughed field, a function of tillage, soil accumulation and ρm. Based on only 8 measurements, the agreement between in situγ ray spectrometry and soil sample measurements of 137Cs inventories improved from a non significant r2=0.05 to a significant r2=0.62 (P<0.05). Erosion and deposition rates calculated from the corrected in situ137Cs measurements had a similarly good agreement with those calculated from soil cores. Mean soil bulk density was also calculated using a separate coefficient, QK, derived from the forward scattering γ photons from 40K within the soil relative to the 40K full energy peak (1460 keV). Again there was good agreement with soil core measurements (r2=0.64; P<0.05). The precision of the in situ137Cs measurement was limited by the precision with which QCs can be estimated, a function of the low 137Cs deposition levels associated with the weapons testing fallout and relatively low detector efficiency (35%). In contrast, the precision of the in situ ρm determination was only limited by the spatial variability associated with soil sampling.  相似文献

A field method for the measurement of substrate‐induced soil respiration A novel method for in situ measurements of microbial soil activity using the CO2 efflux combined with kinetic analysis is proposed. The results are compared with two conventional, laboratory methods, (1) substrate‐induced respiration using a ’︁Sapromat’ and (2) dehydrogenase activity. Soil respiration was measured in situ after addition of aqueous solutions containing 0 to 6 g glucose kg—1 soil. The respiration data were analysed using kinetic models to describe the nutritional status of the soil bacteria employing few representative parameters. The two‐phase soil respiration response gave best fit results with the Hanes' or non‐parametric kinetic model with Michaelis‐Menten constants (Km) of 0.05—0.1 g glucose kg—1 soil. The maximum respiration rates (Vmax) were obtained above 1 g glucose. Substrate‐induced respiration rates of the novel in situ method were significantly correlated to results of the ’︁Sapromat’ measurements (r2 = 0.81***). The in situ method combined with kinetic analysis was suitable for the characterisation of microbial activity in soil; it showed respiration rates lower by 59% than measured in the laboratory with disturbed samples.  相似文献

Earthworm growth is affected by fluctuations in soil temperature and moisture and hence, may be used as an indicator of earthworm activity under field conditions. There is no standard methodology for measuring earthworm growth and results obtained in the laboratory with a variety of food sources, soil quantities and container shapes cannot easily be compared or used to estimate earthworm growth in the field. The objective of this experiment was to determine growth rates of the endogeic earthworm Aporrectodea caliginosa (Savigny) over a range of temperatures (5–20 °C) and soil water potentials (−5 to−54 kPa) in disturbed and undisturbed soil columns in the laboratory. We used PVC cores (6 cm diameter, 15 cm height) containing undisturbed and disturbed soil, and 1 l cylindrical pots (11 cm diameter, 14 cm height) with disturbed soil. All containers contained about 500 g of moist soil. The growth rates of juvenile A. caliginosa were determined after 14–28 days. The instantaneous growth rate (IGR) was affected significantly by soil moisture, temperature, and the temperature×moisture interaction, ranging from −0.092 to 0.037 d−1. Optimum growth conditions for A. caliginosa were at 20 °C and −5 kPa water potential, and they lost weight when the soil water potential was −54 kPa for all temperatures and also when the temperature was 5 °C for all water potentials. Growth rates were significantly greater in pots than in cores, but the growth rates of earthworms in cores with undisturbed or disturbed soil did not differ significantly. The feeding and burrowing habits of earthworms should be considered when choosing the container for growth experiments in order to improve our ability to extrapolate earthworm growth rates from the laboratory to the field.  相似文献

Agricultural soils are a major source of the potent greenhouse gas and ozone depleting substance, N2O. To implement management practices that minimize microbial N2O production and maximize its consumption (i.e., complete denitrification), we must understand the interplay between simultaneously occurring biological and physical processes, especially how this changes with soil depth. Meaningfully disentangling of these processes is challenging and typical N2O flux measurement techniques provide little insight into subsurface mechanisms. In addition, denitrification studies are often conducted on sieved soil in altered O2 environments which relate poorly to in situ field conditions. Here, we developed a novel incubation system with headspaces both above and below the soil cores and field-relevant O2 concentrations to better represent in situ conditions. We incubated intact sandy clay loam textured agricultural topsoil (0–10 cm) and subsoil (50–60 cm) cores for 3–4 days at 50% and 70% water-filled pore space, respectively. 15N-N2O pool dilution and an SF6 tracer were injected below the cores to determine the relative diffusivity and the net N2O emission and gross N2O emission and consumption fluxes. The relationship between calculated fluxes from the below and above soil core headspaces confirmed that the system performed well. Relative diffusivity did not vary with depth, likely due to the preservation of preferential flow pathways in the intact cores. Gross N2O emission and uptake also did not differ with depth but were higher in the drier cores, contrary to expectation. We speculate this was due to aerobic denitrification being the primary N2O consuming process and simultaneously occurring denitrification and nitrification both producing N2O in the drier cores. We provide further evidence of substantial N2O consumption in drier soil but without net negative N2O emissions. The results from this study are important for the future application of the 15N-N2O pool dilution method and N budgeting and modelling, as required for improving management to minimize N2O losses.  相似文献

We have tested the reliability and consistency of conventional pH measurements made on water‐soil mixtures with respect to sieving, drying, ratio of water to soil, and time of shaking prior to measurement. The focus is on a waterlogged soil where the preservation potential of archaeological artefacts is critical. But the study includes agricultural and forest soils for comparison. At a waterlogged site, laboratory results were compared with three different field methods: calomel pH probes inserted in the soil from pits, pH measurements of soil solution extracted from the soil, and pH profiles using a solid‐state pH electrode pushed into the soil from the surface. Comparisons between in situ and laboratory methods revealed differences of more than 1 pH unit. The content of dissolved ions in soil solution and field observations of O2 and CO2 concentrations were used in the speciation model PHREEQE in order to predict gas exchange processes. Changes in pH in soil solution following equilibrium in the laboratory could be explained mainly by CO2 degassing. Only soil pH measured in situ using either calomel or solid‐state probes inserted directly into the soil was not affected by gas exchange processes. Variations on the order of 0.2–0.5 pH unit in different laboratory methods could not be explained by degassing and seem to be soil‐type specific and strongly influenced by drying and shaking. Further attention should be given to standardization of pH measurements, particularly before pH measurements from different soil types are compared.  相似文献
