Because of these interactions, we looked at the in fl uence of phosphorus on cadmium fractions. Variables were three levels of Cd (0.0, 30.0 and 60.0 mg kg -1 of soil from CdSO 4. 8H 2 O), three levels of p (0.0, 50.0 and 100.0 mg kg -1 of soil from Ca (H 2 PO 4 ) 2. H 2 O, three levels Incubation time (2, 4 and 8 weeks) and two sorts of soil (clay and sandy clay loam). The randomized completed block design (RCBD) was used for this research. After 2, 4 and 8 weeks of treatments, the sequential extraction procedure was done to determine cadmium concentration in WsEx (Water Soluble and Exchangeable), Sorb (EDTA ex-tractable), MnOx (Manganese Oxides), Car (Carbonate), OM (Organic matter), AFeOx (Amorphous Iron Oxides), CFeOx (Crystaline Fe oxides) and Res (Residual) fractions. The results showed that 69.0 to 71.0% of the added Cd was removed within the WsEx, Sorb and MnOx fractions. Cadmium concentration in Sorb, OM and Res fraction was higher within clay soil while cadmium concentration within WsEx and Car fractions were higher within sandy clay loam soil. Adding P as monocalcium phosphate reduced cadmium concentration within WsEx and Sorb fractions while increased Car, OM and Res fractions. The presence of phosphorus reduces the concentration of Cd in those forms that are easily released into soil solution (WsEx and Sorb) from where they’ll be absorbed by plants and thus decrease cadmium uptake by plants.","PeriodicalId":44772,"journal":{"name":"Soil Science Annual","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-08-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78183246","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These soils have long been studied by soil scientists around the world. The high school students also have a relatively high knowledge of them in comparison with other soil types. Information about them is readily available in textbooks and on the internet. Is this enough to make alluvial soils the driving force behind efforts to popularize soil science? The aim of this paper is to diagnose the state of knowledge about these soils among high school students of Kuyavian-Pomeranian region as well as the assessment of their suitability in the soil awareness raising. Querying geography textbooks and internet sources as well as a survey method were used as the main research methods. Information on alluvial soils is commonly found in geography textbooks and websites. The awareness of soil distribution within Kuyavian-Pomeranian voivodship is the highest for alluvial soils among all studied types of soils. Respondents correctly assess the value of these soils and can identify ways to increase soil awareness among the public. Among the respondents there is a conviction that there is a need for changes in soil science education, especially in the fi eld of extracurricular activities. Suggestions for such activities are included in this publication. The Year of Alluvial Soils is a good opportunity to introduce new solutions in the popularization of soil science on a regional and national scale.","PeriodicalId":44772,"journal":{"name":"Soil Science Annual","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76257660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Content of major radionuclides responsible for radiation loading – 238 U, 232 Th, 40 K, their progenies 226 Ra and 210 Pb, and technogenic 137 Cs was determined in fi ve soil types representative for the region. Data show that the activity (Bq kg -1 ) of 238 U, 226 Ra, 232 Th and 40 K in studied soils slightly fl uctuates around average values in Bulgarian soils, accepted as background levels in this study. The activity of 210 Pb and 137 Cs was also comparable to that established in other uncontaminated soils. The mixing of materials and artefacts containing pyrogenic carbon (coal-clayey substrate occurring in the unproductive coal strata and slag produced in the local thermal power plant) during the formation of reclaimed soils increases the content of studied radioactive elements, but the highest levels are found in soils (Cam-bisols) enriched with soot. Thus, a typical anthropogenic enhancement of radiation background was observed but it is also not hazardous to the population. Gamma radiation emanating from studied soils is below the recommended values and vary from 0.23 to 0.57 for external hazard index, and from 0.29 to 0.61 mSv y -1 for outdoor annual effective dose. The established interlink between 210 Pb activity and pyrogenic carbon content show that 210 Pb could be used as a marker of the recent deposition of pyrogenic carbon formed during the coal combustion and other activities emitting pyrogenic carbon-containing aerosols.","PeriodicalId":44772,"journal":{"name":"Soil Science Annual","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87151008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the amendment with olive mill pomace from a 3-phase cold-pressed system on the characteristics of the soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and organic matter content (OM). The experiment was carried out using increasing rates of olive mill pomace (12.5%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% w/w) plus the control untreated soil in microcosms under laboratory conditions. The results showed that the treatment of soil with olive mill pomace has a signi fi cant effect on soil properties (pH, EC, OM, OC, and CaCO 3 ) soil pH was decreased under OMP treatment, especially with high doses of PR4 and PR5, and the electrical conductivity of the soil (EC) was increased, as well as soil carbonate content. Moreover, the soil organic matter content and soil organic carbon content were highly increased under the treatment with OMP. As a result, we can consider the olive mill pomace as a soil fertilizer. Pretreatment of olive mill pomace to reduce acidic pH and salt content before use as a soil amendment is also recommended.","PeriodicalId":44772,"journal":{"name":"Soil Science Annual","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84656663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two stands (post- fi re and control) of the same age (27 years) were studied in the Cierpiszewo Forest District (central Poland). The stands were located on Brunic Arenosols developed from aeolian sands. The soil and birches were sampled in 10 replicates per stand. The soil samples were taken from depths of 0–10, 10–20, 20–40 and 20–40 cm using a corer. Samples of fi ne roots, coarse roots, stemwood, stem bark, coarse branches, fi ne branches and leaves were taken from the trees. The basic soil characteristics were determined using standard proce-dures. In addition, the carbon (C), nitrogen (N), sulfur (S), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) contents were analyzed in the soil and biomass samples. The soils were strongly acidic and poor in the studied elements. The nutrient content in the biomass varied strongly among the organs. The most abundant elemental contents were usually in the leaves, followed by the fi ne roots and fi ne branches or bark. The lowest nutrient contents occurred in the stemwood. Statistically signi fi cant differences were recorded between the post- fi re and control stands for some elements. There were higher P, K and Zn contents in most of the biomass fractions in the post- fi re stand, as well as Mg and Mn in the roots and stemwood. The control stand had mostly higher contents of N and Ca. The effects of fi re on the Fe and Cu accumulations varied among the organs and was not clear for S. Generally, birch showed the highest bioaccumulation intensity for N and the lowest for Fe. Among all the studied nutrients, the bioaccumulation factors were usually the highest in the leaves and the lowest in the stemwood. It can be concluded that fi re is an important factor in in fl uencing nutrient management in silver birch stands, even a few decades after its occurrence.","PeriodicalId":44772,"journal":{"name":"Soil Science Annual","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87298172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some authors, however, frequently use the term “calcium carbonate-rich soils” (Kowalska et al., 2017, 2019) and this refers to soils developed on parent material with a calcium carbonate content of 5% to 50% (Czermiński, 1955; Kowalska et al., 2019).
