Forms of manganese as influenced by organic matter and iron oxide

Plant and Soil Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Organic matter has been found to be closely associated with the retention of manganese in an exchangeable form. The destruction of organic matter or its addition decrease or increase the exchangeable form of manganese respectively.

The removal of iron and Fe2O3 addition greatly affect the retention of manganese. An increase in Fe2O3 addition increases the retained, reducible and fixed forms (R, r and F values) of manganese in soils.
