In no-tillage systems, crop residues and nutrients, namely phosphorus and calcium, accumulate in soil surface and can inactivate soil aluminum. In this way, only the presence of this element in soil analysis does not indicate plant toxicity, since organic and inorganic anions may affect the free aluminum dynamics by decreasing its activity in the soil solution. Knowledge on ion activity and speciation in soil solution is therefore useful to understand Al dynamics. Ionic activity and speciation were determined in the […]
