Distribution of the Total and Acetic Acid-Soluble Phosphate in Soil Profiles having Naturally Free and Impeded Drainage

Abstract

IN a reconnaissance soil survey of Aberdeenshire, a large and representative collection of soil profiles from a variety of geological parent material types has been made. Pairs of profiles differing in their degree of natural drainage—freely drained, and poorly drained (gleyed) soils—have been taken from a large number of arable fields over a variety of geological areas. Each particular pair of profiles presumably has had the same manurial treatment.
