The byproducts of flue gas desulfurization (BFGD) are a useful external source of Ca(2+) for the reclamation of sodic soils because they are comparatively cheap, generally available and have high gypsum content. The ion solution composition of sodic soils also plays an important role in the reclamation process. The effect of BFGD on the soluble salts composition and chemical properties of sodic...

The Sedemte Prestola pluton is an intermediate to acid plutonic body of Variscan age (308.7 ± 9.1 Ma). Despite its small size, several petrographic varieties are present: syenites, quartzsyentes and granites. It composed potassium feldspar, quartz, sodic-calcic amphibole; biotite, when present, often rimmed by amphibole or strongly altered; zircon, titanite, apatite ilmenite the accessory phase...

Surface soil sodicity as well as subsoil salinity, acidity, and phytotoxic concentrations of chloride (Cl) are major soil constraints to crop production in many soils of sub-tropical, north-eastern Australia. The identification of genotypes tolerant to these soil constraints may be an option to maintain and improve productivity on these soils. We evaluated performance of 11 barley and 17 wheat ...

The geochemistry on Holocene lavas from the Jingpohu volcanic field in NE China are compared with other Cenozoic across back-arc rift of China, order to constrain their enriched mantle sources. within comprise two separate “Crater Forest” (CF) and “Frog Pool” (FP) areas. FP have lower MgO, CaO, heavy rare earth elements higher Al2O3, Na2O, K2O, large-ion lithophile than CF lavas. Yet, both shar...
