Carbonate and Gypsum

TL;DR: Inorganic carbonate in soil occurs predominantly as the sparingly soluble alkaline-earth carbonates, calcite (CaCOs) and dolomite (caMg(CO,),), which is usually the dominant form in active pedogenic environments as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Health risk from heavy metals via consumption of food crops in the vicinity of Dabaoshan mine, South China.

TL;DR: Estimated daily intake (EDI) and THQs for Cd and Pb of rice and vegetables exceeded the FAO/WHO permissible limit and bio-accumulation factors of heavy metals were significantly higher for leafy than for non-leafy vegetable.
Journal ArticleDOI

A critical review of the conventional SOC to SOM conversion factor

TL;DR: The conventional factor of 1.724, based on the assumption that soil organic matter contains 58% carbon, applies only to some soils or only to particular components of organic matter as mentioned in this paper.

a Critical Examination of a Rapid Method for Determining Organic Carbon in SOILS—EFFECT of Variations in Digestion Conditions and of Inorganic Soil Constituents

Allan Walkley
- 01 Apr 1947 - 
TL;DR: WALKLEY et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a critical analysis of a method for detecting organically enriched carbon in soils, in the context of variability in digestion conditions and inorganic soil constitutions.

A rapid and precise method for routine determination of organic carbon in soil

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method for routine determination of organic carbon in soil by a modified Mebius procedure is described, which involves digestion of the soil sample with an acidified dichromate (K2Cr2O7•H2SO4) solution for 30 minutes in a Pyrex digestion tube in a 40-tube block digester preheated to 170°C.
