Land Clearing Effect on the Variability of some Soil Properties of an Alfisol in South-Western Nigeria [PDF]
The variability of some soil properties of a mechanically cleared plot was compared with an adjacent plot under natural vegetation in an Alfisol of South-western Nigeria. The soil properties studied were pH, total N, available P, exchangeable acidity Ca,

In Ultisols and Oxisols, potassium (K) in the soil solution is leached from the rhizosphere before it interacts with soil colloids, or exchanged with other cations at the exchange sites of the soils because of the abundance of kaolinite clay minerals ...

Cation Exchange Properties of Alginic Acid
SummaryAlginic acid possesses sodium and potassium ion exchange properties which compare favorably with those of a carboxylic type cationic exchange resin. Under in vitro conditions alginic acid at pH 7.6 adsorbs 4.2 meq Na+ per g. The total cation adsorption from solutions containing K+ and Na+ is also 4.2 meq/g and the ratio of Na:K combined ...

The Exchangeability of Amino Acids in Proteins [PDF]
Abstract The comparative analysis of protein sequences depends crucially on measures of amino acid similarity or distance. Many such measures exist, yet it is not known how well these measures reflect the operational exchangeability of amino acids in proteins, since most are derived by methods that confound a variety of effects ...

Soil heavy metal contamination and acid deposition: experimental approach on two forest soils in Hunan, Southern China [PDF]
In 1985, a tailing dam collapsed in Hunan province (southern China) leading to soil contamination by heavy metals from the tailings waste. Moreover, acid deposition becomes more and more serious in this area. In this context, two forest soils (a red soil

Alleviating aluminum toxicity in an acid sulfate soil from Peninsular Malaysia by calcium silicate application [PDF]
In response to human population increase, the utilization of acid sulfate soils for rice cultivation is one option for increasing production. The main problems associated with such soils are their low pH values and their associated high content of ...
