Soils and Soil Solutions

  • Chapter
Book cover Sampling and Sample Preparation

Abstract

Soils are often extremely heterogeneous in their structure and chemical composition. A soil not only consists of solid matter of mineral or organic origin but also contains numerous pores, which altogether form a cavity system that is connected to the atmosphere. The smaller pores are filled with water, the larger ones with air and variable amounts of water. Moreover, soils contain a biotic part. As to their development and maintenance, they depend on the cooperation of bacteria, fungi, worms and insects. One function of micro-organisms is to transform plant residue into humic matter. Humic matter, but also various clay minerals and clay-humic complexes as well as manganese and iron concretions, have a high sorption capacity for potassium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium and phosphate, but most of all for heavy metals. Recent scientific information about general soil chemical aspects and the behaviour of heavy metals can be found in [1 – 3].
