Samples of A and B horizons of a humic red-yellow latosol with a clayey texture were incubated in salt solutions of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn under greenhouse conditions at the Universidade Federal de Viçosa, Brazil, from March to September 1994. The main objectives were to adapt a method for fractional extraction of metals and to evaluate their behavior in soluble, exchangeable, bound to organic matter, bound to Al oxides, bound to Fe oxides, and residual forms. The […]
