Tb94: Chemical And Physical Properties Of The Boothbay, Brayton, Croghan, Monarda, Plaisted, Scantic, And Swanville Soil Mapping Units, R. V. Rourke, K. A. Schmidt

Seven soil mapping units were each sampled at five locations within Maine. The morphology of the soil was described at each site. The profiles were sampled on a horizonal basis from the soil surface to a depth of 100 cm. The soil samples were taken to the laboratory where their chemical and physical properties were determined. Weighted means and weighted standard deviations were determined for several soil properties. Soil profile descriptions and chemical and physical soil data are presented for each sample site.


Tb91: The Effect Of Acidity, Organic Matter, And Sesquioxide Polymers On The Permanet Charge And Ph-Dependent Cation Exchange Capacity Of The Caribou Loam Soil., D. N. Brown, F. E. Hutchinson May 1979

In this study the components of cation exchange capacity (CEC) were measured in an acid spodosol to determine (1) the increase in KC1-CEC in the whole soil when limed, (2) the contribution of the organic fraction to CEC, and (3) the magnitude of CEC reduction by Al and Fe polymers.
