Effect of lupins and pasture on soil acidification and fertility in Western Australia
نویسنده
چکیده
An 'across the fence' comparison of farmer paddocks with nearby virgin bush sites was made at 3 locations, to measure the effects of lupins and subterranean clover based pastures on the chemical properties of the soil. Estimated rates of acidification in the 0--60 cm depth were 0.29-0.55 kmol H+/ha.year for wheat-lupin paddocks and 0.16-0.21 kmol H+/ha.year for pasture paddocks. A significant proportion of this acidification
