Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is an incredibly abundant mineral on Earth, with over 90% of it
being found in the lithosphere. To address the CO2 crisis and combat ocean acidification, it …

Liming is one of the key agronomic practices to improve crop yields in acid soils because,
among other things, it reduces aluminum toxicity and creates favorable conditions for crop …

Less than 1% of native prairie lands remain in the United States. Located in eastern
Washington, the rare habitat called Palouse prairie was largely converted to wheat …

Modelling the lime requirement (LR) is a fast and efficient way to determine the amount of
lime required to obtain a pH that can overcome the adverse effects caused by soil …

Background Liming agricultural land is essential to optimise crop yield and soil nutrients.
Despite the importance of pH management in agricultural soils, liming applications have …

Soil acidification is a major problem in the inland Pacific Northwest. A potential solution is
the application of lime to neutralize acidity and raise pH. As lime is an expensive input …

Soil pH is a foundational element of agronomy, profoundly influencing biological, chemical
and physical soil processes. Adjusting soil pH is a paramount factor for enhancing soil …

Abstract The Shoemaker, McLean, and Pratt (SMP) buffer pH method has been used
historically in Oregon for estimating lime requirement, however concerns regarding …

Determination of lime requirement (LR) is a routine test due to the wide use of liming
materials to remediate acid soils. The titrations using several base additions reportedly work …

An incubation experiment was conducted with the objective of identifying the best lime
requirement (LR) determination method (s) and calibrating them for estimating the LR of …
