Abstract:
Soil chemical laboratory analyses of VIPs and selected plots on Site B. Cation exchange capacity, base saturation and soil fertility attributes of six depth increments per plot.
Design:
Six depth increments were taken from systematic corings: Nine corings per plot were pooled to one sample per depth increment (0-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40, 40-50 cm). Sampling was then reduced to five depth increments (0-5, 5-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-50 cm). Samples were air-dried, sieved < 2mm, grinded using a ball mill.
Cation exchange capacity (CEC) and concentrations of Na, K, Mg, Ca, Mn, Fe, Al and H were measured with an ICP-OES (Perkin Elmer DV 5300 ICP OES). The soil samples were percolated with an unbuffered 1 M NH4Cl solution (effective cation exchange capacity). Base saturation percentage (BS) was calculated as proportion of the CEC accounted for by exchangeable bases Na, K, Mg and Ca.
