As a new subscriber I would like to introduce myself. My name is Keith W. Goyne and I am a graduate student at Penn State studying differences in the renovation of acid deposition in soils forming from contrasting geologic types. My questions are: 1) Is anyone currently using wick lysimeters to collect soil solution in an acid deposition study? 2) Has anyone used the wick lysimeters in the winter and how have you dealt with freezing? Thanks Keith W. Goyne goyne@psu.edu <------------------------------>

Soil, Water and Climate) is involved in some studies using wick lysimeters in agricultural settings. However, I don't believe they are acid deposition studies. You might try contacting him and/or his graduate students. Satish Gupta University of Minnesota 439 Borlaug Hall 1991 Upper Buford Circle St. Paul, MN 55108 Wk: (612) 625-1241 Hobie Perry -- C.

Date: Thu, 2 May 1996 09:19:01 -0600 From: ermexico@mail.internet.com.mx (Manuel Ortiz Monasterio (ERM-Mexico)) Subject: Background Concentrations Hello: I work in an environmental consulting company. Some of the studies we perform require soil sampling. This samples are sent to a laboratory to be analyzed. The objective of this sampling and testing is to verify and know the extention of the soil where there is suspected contamination. In order to know this, the results for the concentration of any substance have to be compared to the normal background concentration for such substance. I would like to know where I could obtain some information (via internet or bibliography) on the normal background concentrations for metals and other substances in soil. I know that these values are different from place to place and, although we perform most of our work throughout Mexico, I think that values for soil in the U.S. (If there is no information available for Mexico) may be a good basis. Thank you very much. Adios Amigos. <------------------------------>

Manuel, The following references should give you some idea of the range of metal contents in US soils. Soils do vary considerably in their metal contents from place to place (some metals by several orders of magnitude), so I hope that you are able to find data for soils closer to your areas of interest.

Currently I am in my first year of my Masters, and my thesis topic will be in the area of soil physics, most likely with sustainable management and soil degradation over-tunes. Does anyone have any information on past, and maybe present, research done in the area of "soil physical and chemical indicators of soil over-usage, and the change of these factors from virgin soils to developed soils" I am hoping to form a relationship between soil factors change, due to development, time, and at which point the change in the soil factors become detrimental to agricultural and horticultural production (mainly short term, but also long term effects). I would appreciate any help, Thanks in advance. **************************************************************************** Karsten Zegwaard Department of Earth Sciences The University of Waikato Hamilton, New Zealand email: zegwaard@waikato.ac.nz Ph: (07) 843-3540 **************************************************************************** <------------------------------>

Date: Thu, 9 May 1996 22:00:08 -0500 From: "J.D. Oster" .<.oster@mail.ucr.edu.>. Subject: Re: Introduction Some of the writings of J. P. Quirk may be appropriate. Particularly, his papers which touch on organic matter, for example Davidson, J. L. and Quirk, J. P. 1961, The influence of dissolved gypsum on pasture establishment on irrigated sodic soils. Aust. J. Agric. Res. 12, 100-110. The decline in organic matter which often occurs after virgin soils are used for croping can be a significant factor in a decline in soil aggregate stability. A good reference to Quirk's published works can be found in Advances in Agronomy, 53:123-183. 1994. The title of this paper is Interparticle Forces: A basis for the interpretation of soil physical behavior.

Date: Mon, 13 May 1996 12:51:03 +0930 From: Jock.Churchman@adl.soils.csiro.au (Jock Churchman) Subject: Re: Introduction and question on CEC Bill, In this lab, we determine CEC's of clays by 2 main methods: 1. Suck clay in suspension through a millipore (.<. 0.2 micrometers) filter, .>. 80 mg clay on a 30 mm diameter filter. Exchange the clays with 1M barium chloride, thoroughly rinse to remove the excess Ba, then determine elemental composition by X-ray fluoresence (XRF). The sample is anan infinitely thick one as far as the X-rays are concerned. The analysis of Ba gives the CEC as it is assumed that there is no native Ba in the clay. This was used in a paper we published in Australian Journal of Soil Research 32, 805-822, 1994. 2. Exchange the clay with 1m calcium chloride, throuhly wash to remove excess Ca, then dry and fuse 0.28 grams with lanthanum oxide and lithium tetraborate. Again analyse by XRF. Once again, it is assumed that calcium is present only as the exchangeable cation (you could use any cation that fitted this requirement, provided you had XRF standards for the matrix of elements you were using). You work out the structural formula from the analyses, and ascribe all of the Ca to exchangeable sites. The method for the fusion analysis is in Norrish and Hutton, Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta 33, 431-453, 1969. The first method is not as precise as the second, but it requires less clay and less preparation, is performed routinely in this lab, and is actually not bad for precision. More generally, I am very interested in your project, as we are doing a lot of work on clays for the uptake of pollutants and especially modification of clays for the uptake of non-ionic (and anionic) organic compounds. I'd be pleased to keep in touch with you.

Subject: Re: Introduction and question on CEC Bill, I've used the silver thiourea method of Chhabra et al to measure the CEC and exchangeable cations in Vertisols which are smectite dominant. The method works very well as you can determine boththe CEC as well as the cations on the exchange sites provided one takes into account the soluble cations. The reference is : Chhabra,R; Pleysier, J. and Cremers, A. (1975). The measuremnet of the cation exchange capacity etc........ Proc. Int. Clay Conf. Mexico City. 439-49. Good luck in your quest.

Some part of free NH4 ion may remain and some part of exchangeable NH4 ion may be washed out. Some researchers adopt centrifugal method instead of alcohol washing (ex. K. Wada, Journal of Soil Science, 1980, 31, 307-314). In this method, remained solution mass is measured and quantity of remaining free NH4 ion is calculated from it. But most of the CEC of montmorillonite is by electric diffuse double layer, so in the layer cation concentration is high and anion low (so this calculation often brings some errors, such as negative AEC). But in your case, as most of the soil constituents are montmorillonite, most of the free water will be removed by centrifuging and only double layer solution will be remain after centrifuging, so precise measurement may be possible with centrifugal method without calculation of remainder.

My name is Liu Qi.I'm an environmental journalist in China. Every field related to environment interests me. As I love nature and its beauty, love field trip and exploration,I used to major in Geology and transfer to natural resources management in China University of Geosciences, be a guide for exploration tour for several years before I became an environmental journalist. I have still got some involvement in field trip since I left travel service, as some colleagues worldwide often ask me to guide their exploration in inland China. Recently an journalist in Japan informed me his interest in exploring the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. I have worked out a tentative itinerary for his tour . I'm working on another exploration tour to explore three remote places in inland China where people enjoy significant longevity in a near 100 percent nature surroundings. Years of field trip experiences also give me an advantage of collecting specimen. Presently I have got specimen of some 1,000 butterflies and 10,000 insects inhabited in China. I'll be happy to give any possible help for our soils-l colleagues if I can, by my knowledge in China's environment and related fields, by my experiences in exploration tours across inland China and my collection of specimen. Looking forward to hearing from you. LIU Qi .<.cnenv@public3.bta.net.cn.>. <------------------------------>
