The Measurement of Soil pH

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, 1955
Abstract A number of experimental results are presented which show the variation of the pH values of several soils when samples of each are shaken with CaCl 2 solutions of different concentrations.

A high-resolution map of soil pH in China made by hybrid modelling of sparse soil data and environmental covariates and its implications for pollution.

open access: yesScience of the Total Environment, 2019
The soil's pH is the single most important indicator of the soil's quality, whether for agriculture, pollution control or environmental health and ecosystem functioning.

The role of conservation soil management on soil and water protection at different spatial scales [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Agriculture has a direct impact on the soil environment, altering soil properties, surface characteristics and erosion risk. This has led to a move away from conventional tillage to the adoption of conservation practices, aiming to minimise soil ...

Yield attributes of rice (Oryza sativa) as affected by integrated use of zinc oxide and zinc solubilizers

open access: yesThe Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the staple food for more than three billion people around the world. Zinc (Zn) deficiency is mostly found in lowland rice due to submergence condition which affect the yield adversely.

Nutrient distribution and relationship with soil properties in different watersheds of Haryana

open access: yesThe Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2020
Nutrient distribution in profile depths is unclear due to large exploitation of nutrient in the top soil while neglecting sub soil, which is also important from crop production point of view.

Investigating the factors affecting farmers' perceived compatibility of bio- fertilizers in the Zanjan county [PDF]

open access: yesRāhburdhā-yi tusi̒ah-i rūstāyī, 2017
The importance of bio-fertilizers has increased because of the negative consequences of using chemical fertilizers. This study that was conducted in the Zanjan County was aimed at examining the factors that affect farmers' perceived compatibility of bio-

Association of Organic Carbon With Reactive Iron Oxides Driven by Soil pH at the Global Scale

open access: yesGlobal Biogeochemical Cycles, 2022
Association of organic carbon (C) with iron (Fe) minerals is one important mechanism for long‐term terrestrial C storage. Yet, specific edaphic variables that directly contribute to Fe‐associated C across diverse soil types are still unclear.

pH of Very Acid Soils [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1971
THE purpose of this note is to call attention to the fact that usual methods of measuring soil pH1 seriously underestimate the pH of very acid soils, such as those of coal mine spoils2, cat clays3 and solfataras4, in which acidity is due to the presence of free sulphuric acid. Standard methods for measuring soil pH involve making a slurry of soil with (

Soil pH: a key edaphic factor regulating distribution and functions of bacterial community along vertical soil profiles in red soil of pomelo orchard

open access: yesBMC Microbiology, 2022
Soil microbes exist throughout the soil profile and those inhabiting topsoil (0–20 cm) are believed to play a key role in nutrients cycling. However, the majority of the soil microbiology studies have exclusively focused on the distribution of soil ...
