    Notes: Abstract. Soils and land use in the Atlantic Zone of Costa Rica were mapped independently at a scale of 1: 100000. At this scale, mapping units are often composite, both in terms of soil type and land utilization type. Combinations of given soil and land utilization types were produced by overlaying the soil and land use maps, on which there was 63% coincidence of unit boundaries. Each combination of land unit and land use was evaluated in terms of bio-physical potentials. From expert judgement land use was shown to be (a) in balance with the use potential, (b) exceeding the use potential (‘over-use’) or (c) less than the use potential (‘under-use’). 18% of the area is over-used, in non-sustainable forms of land use, but 51% is under-used and could be put to more demanding types of land use.

    Notes: Abstract. Regression equations successfully allowed the calculation of water retained at—0.3 × 105 Pa and–15 × 105 Pa matric potentials from single soil characteristics, such as bulk volume or clay content, in clayey horizons derived in similar ways from a single parent material. It is possible to use these regression equations on other soils with similar clay fabrics. The fabric is expressed numerically using the pore volume associated with clay particles.

    Notes: Abstract. The impact of lead shot on soils and crops was examined at a clay pigeon shooting site in northern England. Topsoil cores were collected along a 300 m transect from the shooting range, and the numbers of lead shot pellets per soil core, total and ‘plant-available’(0.5m acetic acid extractable) lead concentrations, organic matter content, pH and cation exchange capacity were determined. The number of oilseed rape plants and their stem diameters were recorded in 1 m2 quadrats placed at the soil sampling locations. Total and ‘plant-available’ lead concentrations in the soil were most but plant numbers per m2 and mean stem diameters were least in the area of greatest lead shot deposition. Total lead concentrations in the soil commonly exceeded 5000 mg/kg; these are considerably greater than threshold ‘trigger’ concentrations proposed by the Department of the Environment, above which soils are considered to be contaminated and warrant further investigation. Concentrations of lead in the oilseed rape plants themselves were also largest in the area of most intense lead shot deposition; in root samples the lead concentration exceeded 400 mg/kg. The management and remediation of contaminated soils at the clay pigeon shooting site are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract. Nepal is facing a serious problem of being unable to maintain soil fertility in agriculture and forestry. Land use practices initiated over the past 10–15 years have resulted in insufficient nutrient inputs, while biomass use and production have increased. Changes in forest soil fertility have resulted from intensive use of forest biomass for animal feed and collection of forest litter for use in agriculture. The agricultural fertility changes have resulted from intensifying annual crop rotations from 1.5 to 2.5 crops and insufficient inputs. The removal of biomass from the forest has curtailed the natural organic cycle by virtually eliminating nutrient inputs.The soils are very acidic and have little C, N, P and exchangeable bases, but have large amounts of active iron. Basic nutrients are not sustained in agriculture and differences in inputs and management between irrigated and rainfed agricultural systems are becoming visible. Irrigated fields show the largest cation content because of input from irrigation water. Rainfed agricultural sites, which receive the most nutrients (fertilizers and manure), have the highest pH values and C and N contents. All soil fertility conditions are marginal and put into question the long-term sustainability of current levels of production. Alterations in the cropping intensity are needed and the introduction of nitrogen fixing trees and crops seems to be the most viable option towards sustainability.

    Notes: Abstract. Rooting depth, watertable depth and oxygen regime were measured in plots of Sitka spruce, lodgepole pine and a 50% mixture of each species planted on a deep unflushed blanket peat. The water-table was about 10 cm deeper and roots occurred about 2 cm deeper under the pine than under the spruce or the mixture. In addition the mean concentration of oxygen at 50 cm depth was significantly larger under the pine and the mixture than under the spruce, showing that the rapid early growth of the pine had started to dry the peat. There was no evidence of any improvement in the growth of the spruce in the mixture compared to the pure Sitka spruce, suggesting that the expected nursing benefit had not occurred.

    Notes: Abstract. The effect of organic matter content and other soil properties on soil erosion in the Rogate area, West Sussex, UK, was assessed using a rainfall simulator. Thirty soil samples (Podzols, Brown sands, Brown earths, Alluvial gley and Podzolized brown sands) collected from eroded and uneroded fields were exposed to 50 mm/h and 70 mm/h simulated rainfall. The results show that organic matter content influences soil erosion, through its effect on the stability of aggregates.

    The determination of field-saturated hydraulic conductivity in some Scottish soils using the Guelph permeameter (1994)

    Notes: Abstract. Soil hydraulic conductivities are frequently required for process-based modelling of the soil water regime. Field-saturated hydraulic conductivity was measured with the Guelph permeameter in 10 soil series with a range of structures and textures. The permeameter offers a range of options for calculating conductivities depending on soil conditions, particularly homogeneity of pore distribution within each horizon. However, even horizons described as massive or apedal were not sufficiently homogeneous to satisfy the boundary conditions entirely.Hydraulic conductivities were calculated by the one head, fixed α* procedure; α* is an index of capillarity. No direct correlations were found between hydraulic conductivity and land use. However, the average hydraulic conductivity of coarse textured topsoils which were mainly under arable agriculture was less than that of the finer textured topsoils largely under grassland. Even limited structural development increased the hydraulic conductivities of fine textured, compact subsurface horizons. It is important to match the adopted procedure to the soil conditions both during the determination of flow rates in the field and in the subsequent analyses.

    Notes: Abstract. Analysis of agro-climatic conditions forms the first stage of physical land evaluation. Monthly rainfall, potential evapotranspiration and air temperature data are analysed by the agro-climatic module of the Jamaica Physical Land Evaluation System (JAMPLES). Dependable rainfall (R75), the minimum amount exceeded in a given time period in 75% of the years, ranges from 537 to 5332 mm/yr at the 141 recording stations under review, and mean potential evapotranspiration (PET) ranges from 1120 to 1580 mm/yr. Annual R75/PET ratios range from 0.3–5.0 island-wide and regional differences permit delineation of four ‘moisture availability’ zones. These are subdivided with respect to the length of the ‘dependable’ growing periods (DGP) and dry periods. The DGP is less than 2 months in the southern coastal plains and 12 months long in the north-eastern part of the island. Mean daily air temperature decreases from 26 to 13°C with elevation, permitting the delineation of five temperature classes. Suitable regions for growing particular crops can be determined with the Jamaica Geographical Information System (JAMGIS), which includes a digitized version of the 1:250000 map of agro-climatic zones. More specific land suitability assessments, taking soil conditions and feasible land management practices into account, are prepared with the physical land evaluation module of JAMPLES.

    Notes: Abstract. Crop responses to applied potassium fertilizers are erratic in many arid and semi-arid soils. The potassium supplying potential of river-bed sediments and release of interlayer potassium from eleven alkaline soils were measured in two separate experiments. Sediments from the Chenab and Ravi Rivers in Pakistan were exhausted of potassium by successively growing wheat, maize, mungbean, and wheat in them for a total of 200 days, using Hoagland solution to supply optimum amounts of other nutrients. Cumulative plant dry matter yield was significantly greater on the Chenab sediments. The quantities of potassium supplied to plants from the sediments of the two rivers were also significantly different.Interlayer potassium was extracted for 1230 minutes from a Udic Haplustalf (Pindorian series) by twelve different solutions each with the same electrolyte content (100 cmol). The sodium adsorption ratios (SAR) of the solutions were adjusted to 5, 10, 25, and 50, each with Ca: Mg ratios of 25:75, 50: 50 or 75:25, using solutions of sodium, calcium and magnesium chloride. The potassium released from the soil was inversely related to solution SAR. Increasing proportions of magnesium relative to calcium in solution favoured the release of potassium, except in the SAR 50 solution. Significantly different quantities of potassium were extracted by various solutions. Maximum potassium (442 mg/kg) was extracted by SAR 5 solution with a Ca: Mg ratio of 25:75. Interlayer potassium subsequently removed by this solution from 11 alkaline soils ranged from 407 to 499 mg/kg. The potassium released from all but three of the soils was related to their clay content (r= 0.72; n= 8). The release of potassium from the soils followed the Elovich function. The intercept (X1) and slope (X2) estimated for the function was related to potassium released (y) by the equation: y=−1.13 + 2.74X1−0.014X2 (r= 0.998; n= 8)The results imply that river sediments treated with irrigation water containing magnesium and sodium ions can contribute substantial amounts of available potassium for plant growth.
