organic acids exuded by plant roots increase solubility of soil micronutrient complexes. this study was carried out to evaluate adsorption isotherms of 4 acidic and 4 calcareous soils at presence of organic acids (citric, malic and oxalic acids). iron sorption and desorption isotherms are defined in to two systems including; system 1; soil-water-metal, system 2; soil-water-organic acid-metal). ...

abstract phosphorus (p) sorption in soils is a key process governing the availability of p to crops. p sorption characteristics and their relationship to soil properties were determined in twenty-one paired surface soil samples (21 cultivated and 21 adjacent virgin soils) belonging to five soil types: typic calcixerepts, typic haploxerepts, typic endoaquepts, vertic endoaquepts, and vertic calc...
