The effort to utilize the soils optimally, especially Ultisols, requires an appropriate understanding related their characteristics. characteristics of Ultisols are sturdily influenced by soil-forming factors, viz. climate, parent material, pedogenic age and topography. purposes this study were determine chemical, physical, mineralogical soil development classification level Ultisol from two di...

Abstract This study aimed to establish if there is any evidence that soil mineralogical and/or chemical composition influence the composition and quality of wine grapes. In the initial phase of the study, soils and grapes were sampled in two riesling vineyards in South Australia. Soils were analysed for a wide range of total major and trace elements; soil cation extracts and grape juices were a...

The aim of this study was to establish the fractionation of copper and zinc in a small apple orchard using the revised (four-step) Bureau Communautaire de Référence (BCR) sequential extraction procedure and assess their potential mobility in soil. Soil samples were collected at the depth of 10 cm to 25 cm, sixteen from the orchard and five control samples from a meadow located some 200 m away f...

The objective of this study was to investigate the physical, chemical, and mineralogical composition of lateritic soils in order to use these soils as potential commercial products for industrial application in the future. Five lateritic soils derived from various parent materials in Taiwan, including andesite, diluvium, shale stone, basalt, and Pleistocene deposit, were collected from the Bt1 ...

quaternary sediments have occupied most of the agricultural and natural resources of urmia region. recognition of physicochemical and mineralogical properties of these soils is essential to optimum and stable use of these lands. in this study, eight soils profiles excavated on quaternary sediments of urmia region were investigated. the results showed that little thickness and evolution of studi...

Previous studies suggested the existence of a correlation between 26 Al relative crystallisation ages and mineralogical and bulk chemical compositions of ferromagnesian chondrules from the Bishunpur and Semarkona unequilibrated ordinary (Mostefaoui et al., 2002; Tachibana et al., 2003). However, because the precision in 26 Al ages was moderate, these correlations are questionable. Here, we repo...
