Abstract

OXIDATION-REDUCTION or redox potential measurements have been widely used in the study of chemical and biological reactions in waterlogged soils. The oxidation-reduction potential is used to characterize aeration in waterlogged soils because the more commonly used measurements of oxygen concentration and oxygen diffusion rate are of little value. Dissolved oxygen is usually completely absent or present in very low concentration in a waterlogged soil.
