Extractable Al and Soil Solution Ionic Concentrations in Strongly Leached Soils from Northwest Iberia: Effects of Liming

Table 7

Values of soil solution pH, and activities of calcium {Ca+2}, magnesium {Mg+2}, potassium {K+}, sodium {Na+}, iron {Fe+3}, manganese {Mn+2}, zinc {Zn+2}, and sulfate { S O 4 2 } ions (μM L−1) in unlimed (control) and limed studied soil solutions, as speciated by the GEOCHEM program. Symbol: DL: detection limit. Values followed by the same letter in column are not significantly different at 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 level.
