Abstract

Concentrations of Al in leaf tissue of plants growing on limestone soils (pH ca. 8) are similar to, or do not deviate much from, concentrations in plants growing on acid silicate soils. Aluminium concentrations in the topsoil solution are at least one order of magnitude lower in limestone than in acid silicate soils. Plants seem to absorb Al quite efficiently under moderately alkaline soil conditions. Possible mechanisms for this are discussed.
