Crop rotation or mixed cropping can improve the fertility of the land. Solid waste treatment Proper methods should be adopted for management of solid waste disposal. Industrial wastes can be treated physically, chemically and biologically until they are less hazardous. Acidic and alkaline wastes ...
The soil is an acidic, loamy clay derived from Quaternary Red Clay and classified as a Ferralic Cambisol51. Before the establishment of this experiment, the site was a mass pine (Pinus massonina Lamb.) natural secondary forest. The field experiment compared three crop systems based on common...
Similarly, as for dryland soils, GPR surveys are more successful in peats with sandy subsoils and are even more successful in acidic peats lacking clays and exchangeable cations. The electrical conductivity of clays can cause electromagnetic signal attenuation and can be accentuated by a high cation...
acidic, fungal-dominated humus materials of slowly-decomposing litters and more common in the less acidic, bacterial-dominated richer soils of rapidly decomposing species. Indeed, the chemical and physical characteristics ofplant litterhas proven to be more important than climate or any other source ...

(Brady & Weil 2008). Aluminum toxicity is also a common problem for crop growth at low pH (<5.5). Typically, soil pH values from 6 to 7.5 are optimal for plant growth; however, there are certain plants species that can tolerate — or even prefer — more acidic or basic conditions. ...
Additionally, due to higher leaf area and year-round foliage, spruce is more efficient in atmospheric compound interception (Oulehle and Hruška 2005; De Schrijver et al. 2007). As a result, soils under spruce are usually more acidic and thus more susceptible to further acidification, less ...
2021). Acidic pH enhanced Cr(VI) elimination while competing ions (Cl−, SO42−, and PO43−) inhibited Cr(VI) adsorption by BM-Fe-HC. After reaction, Fe(II) reduced a portion of the adsorbed Cr(VI) before being stabilized by Fe(III) as amorphous CrxFe1-x(OH)3 on the ...
Soil can be acidic.neutral.or basic.The pH of the soil is determined by the nature of the rockfrom which it was formed.and by the nature of t}le plants that grow and rot in it. The acidity of rain and snow can lower the pH of the groundwater that enters the soil.By burning foss...
