TLDR
In this paper, the pH adjustment of five soils whose pH in the field had been adjusted to between 5.0 and 7.5 were incubated with water or 0.01 m CaCl2 at 90% field capacity, and additional samples of the most acid soil were limed to various pH values immediately before incubation.
Abstract
Summary Samples of five soils whose pH in the field had been adjusted to between 5.0 and 7.5 were incubated with water or 0.01 m CaCl2 at 90% field capacity. Additional samples of the most acid soil were limed to various pH values immediately before incubation. Manganese, zinc and cobalt concentrations in the soil solutions, collected by displacement, decreased as the pH increased; the concentrations in calcium chloride solutions were higher than those in water solutions. The free divalent ions Mn2+, Zn2+ and Co2+ were the major metal species in solution at pH 5 but the proportion of the metals present as the free ion decreased as the pH increased. Differences in the manganese and zinc concentrations in the solutions were due not only to the pH of these solutions but also to the original pH of the soil in the field.

Contrasting effects of manure and compost on soil pH, heavy metal availability and growth of Chenopodium album L. in a soil contaminated by pyritic mine waste

TL;DR: For metal sulphides-contaminated soil, liable to acidification, manure application appears to be able to enhance the initial stages of re-vegetation, by species such as C. album.

Micronutrient Cation Complexing in Soil Solution: II. Complexing of Zinc and Copper in Displaced Solution from Calcareous Soils

TL;DR: In this paper, the concentration and degree of complexing of Zn and Cu were measured in the soil solution of 20 calcareous soils from Colorado, and the results showed that Zn levels in solution were generally less than 2 ppb with rarely more than 75% of the Zn being complexed.
