Potassium Dynamics in Soils

  • Conference paper
Advances in Soil Science

Part of the book series: Advances in Soil Science ((SOIL,volume 6))

Abstract

The study of potassium (K) exchange on clay minerals and soils can be viewed from either a thermodynamic or a kinetic perspective. In pursuing the soil science literature, one will undoubtedly find that most of the studies on K exchange have been of an equilibrial rather than of a dynamic nature. Although the former studies have proved valuable in understanding the often elusive behavior of K in heterogeneous systems, they do not convey information about the rates or mechanisms of K exchange processes. Moreover, thermodynamic investigations on soil K are often not applicable to field conditions. Although a quasi-state equilibrium in K exchange can be achieved in the laboratory, these conditions are seldom if ever attained under field conditions.
