Freeze–Thaw Effects on Sorption Desorption of Ammonium in Wetland Soils

Chapter
First Online:
Part of the Springer Theses book series (Springer Theses)

Abstract

Ammonium ions (NH4 +) are a primary form of mineralized nitrogen (N) in most flooded wetland soils. NH4 + ions can be adsorbed by plants or be electrostatically held on negatively charged surfaces of soil particles. They can be prevented from further oxidation and are stable in wetland soils because of their anaerobic nature.
