Estimates of Soil Solution Ionic Strength and the Determination of pH in West Australian Soils
نویسندگان
چکیده
The average ionic strength of 20 West Australian soils was found to be 0·0048. The effects of three electrolytes (deionized water, CaCl2 and KN03), three ionic strengths (0'03. 0·005 and soil ionic strength at field capacity, Is) and two soil liquid ratios (1:5 and 1:10) on the pH of 15 soils were investigated. pH measurements in solutions of ionic strength 0·005 differed the least from measurements made at Is' The differences that occurred in comparisons with distilled water or CaCI2 of ionic strength 0·03 (0'01 M) were much greater (2': O· 4 pH units). An extractant with an ionic strength of O· 005 may provide a more realistic measure of pH in the field than distilled water or 0·01 M CaCl2 for West Australian soils.

Two field trials were sampled to investigate the changes to soil solution chemical properties of a yellow sandplain soil with an acidic subsoil following the application of gypsum and lime to the soil surface in 1989. The soils were sandy textured and located in a region of low annual rainfall (300-350 mm). Soil was sampled annually to a depth of 1 m and changes in soil solution composition wer...
