Oxisols derived from clayey sediments, sandstone, mafic rocks and schist were sampled in
the “Triangulo Mineiro” region, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, to study the relationship between …

Phosphate sorption capacities of 15 Chinese fly ashes were determined and related to their
composition. The data of P sorption were best fitted to Langmuir equation, and the …

Septic tank effluent is customarily disposed of by soil infiltration. Coarse, sandy soil such as
those found in Perth, Western Australia, exhibit low attenuation capabilities for phosphate …

Phosphorus (P) is an essential plant nutrient second after nitrogen. Soil phosphorus,
especially in soils of high P-fixing capacity, remains unavailable to plants. Soil …

Phosphate management problems in weathered tropical soils are mostly associated with the
abundance of free Fe and Al oxides. The objectives of this study were to determine the effect …

The chemistry of P in the spodic (Bh) horizon of Florida Spodosols has generated
considerable interest in recent years, particularly where water quality problems have been …

We examined the ability of soils in six nontidal palustrine forested wetlands (PFOs) in
Virginia's Piedmont (PD) and Coastal Plain (CP) to remove dissolved inorganic P from …

2There has been a minimal revision in this chapter compared to the first edition. A section on
simulating nutrient dynamics has been included to illustrate a recent application of the …

The long-term implications of rapid urbanization on water and soil quality have raised
concern in recent years. The expansion of urban occupation in riparian zones contributes to …

Phosphorus (P) sorption‐desorption isotherms were studied in several acid upland soils
developed from different parent materials in Indonesia. The soils varied in their chemical …
