Equilibrium and kinetics parameters have been evaluated at 25.0 °C for the heterogeneous catalysis of atrazine hydrolysis in slurries of a chemically characterized mineral soil. The fraction of acidic sites that accounts for sorption capacity, and the sorption equilibrium function resemble those for humic acid and organic soil. Sorption and desorption half-lives increased with increasing coverage of sorption sites. The sorption half-lives ranged from 3.6 to 735 days. The desorption half-lives ranged from 1 to 11 days. The hydrolysis half-lives ranged from 9.6 to 168 days and are consistent with Brönsted acid catalysis theory. The relationship of independent variables to data scatter has been analyzed. The information obtained should be useful for water and solute transport models.

The relationship of the mean weight diameter of water-stable aggregates to certain soil properties (clay, organic matter, free iron, free aluminum, and polysaccharide contents) and the relationship of the increase in aggregation caused by VAMA to the same properties of 24 New Brunswick soils were evaluated by correlation and regression analyses.Simple correlation coefficients relating aggregation to soil properties indicated that organic matter (r = 0.627), polysaccharides (r = 0.602), and aluminum (r = 0.679) were the most important factors. However, when the influence of each factor was separated by partial correlation, the coefficients were not significant. On the other hand, the combined effects of all factors as indicated by the multiple correlation coefficient (r = 0.743) was significant at the 1% level. The effect of the same soil properties on response to VAMA, as shown by increase in mean weight diameter, indicated that clay exerted the greatest influence. The relationship with other factors was nonsignificant.

Healthy soil could support plant growth by optimizing the availability of nutrients. The availability of nutrients influences the health of tea plants. Nutrient deficiencies would affect the plant physiology that exhibits the plant withering. This study aimed to define the relationship between soil nutrient availability with plant nutrient uptake. This research was conducted by managing secondary data soil chemical properties, and tea plant nutrients analyzed statistically with Pearson correlation. This study only found a significant correlation between soil pH with P and Mg uptake. Correlation results between soil nutrient and plant nutrient uptake obtained a significantly negative correlation on soil pH with P and Mg nutrients with a correlation value of pH-P (r=-0.52), pH-Mg (r=-0.52). There was no correlation between other soil nutrients and plant nutrient uptake. The results of this study can be used to determine the dose of fertilization and the management recommendation of tea plants.

Pronamide [3,5-dichloro-(N-1, 1-dimethyl-2-propynyl) benzamide] phytotoxicity was compared in 10 Wisconsin soils and the relationship of activity to soil physical and chemical properties appraised. Twelve soil properties were measured and correlated with pronamide I50(50% fresh weight inhibition) values using oats (Avena sativaL. ‘Portal’) as the indicator plant in bioassays conducted under greenhouse conditions. Organic matter was the soil variable most inversely correlated with pronamide phytotoxicity. Cation exchange capacity, field moisture capacity, and Mg content were also inversely correlated with pronamide phytotoxicity, but probably reflect changes in soil organic matter levels. Clay content did not significantly affect pronamide phytotoxicity.

A multivariate analysis of the quantitative relationship of antioxidant structure and activity of a series of benzoic acid derivatives based on computational chemical properties was calculated. The parameters were obtained from the optimized structure of ionization pKa and hydrophobic ClogP while the compound activity was obtained from the literature. Analysis of the relationship between antioxidant activity and chemical properties of the compound was performed with the SPSS 21 program. The analysis result gives the best equation model as follows: Log 1 / IC50 = –1.514 + 0,516 log P + 0.087 pKa (n = 10 r = 0,962 SE = 0,301 Fcalc./Ftable = 1,422).

Soil samples were taken before and 9 and 21 months after the operational broadcast burning of logging slash in two clear-cuts in the Sub-boreal Spruce Zone of central British Columbia. Average slash consumption on the two clear-cuts was estimated from line intersect samples at 20 and 24 t/ha and forest floor depth was reduced by 28 and 36%. Nine months after burning, soil N had decreased by 376 kg/ha (18% of preburn levels) while available P had increased by 37–157 kg/ha. Burning resulted in substantial increases in forest floor base saturation, pH, exchangeable Ca and Mg, and available P. Changes within the 0–15 and 15–30 cm mineral soil layers were variable and in general less pronounced. Significant positive correlations were observed between the consumption of large fuels and postburn changes in forest floor pH and exchangeable Ca and Mg. Changes in forest floor N were negatively correlated with amounts of fine slash consumed. A strongly negative correlation was observed between forest floor depth of burn and changes in forest floor exchangeable K concentrations.

Understanding the spatial pattern of soil chemical properties (SCPs) together with topological factors and soil management practices is essential for land management. This study examines the spatial changes in soil chemical properties and their impact on China’s subtropical mountainous areas. In 2007 and 2017, 290 and 200 soil samples, respectively, were collected in Hefeng County, a mountainous county in central China. We used descriptive statistics and geostatistical methods, including ANOVA, semivariance, Moran’s I, and fractal dimensions, to analyze the characteristics and spatial autocorrelation changes in soil organic matter (OM), available phosphorus (AP), available potassium (AK), and pH value from 2007 to 2017. We explored the relationship between each SCP and the relationship between SCPs with topographic parameters, soil texture, and cropping systems. The results show that the mean value of soil OM, AP, AK, and pH in Hefeng increased from 2007 to 2017. The spatial variation and spatial dependency of each SCP in 2007, excluding AP and AK in 2007, were higher than in 2017. The soil in areas with high topographic relief, profile curvature, and planform curvature had less AP, AK, and pH. Soil at higher elevation had lower OM (r = −0.197, p < 0.01; r = −0.334, p < 0.01) and AP (r = −0.043, p < 0.05; r = −0.121, p < 0.05) and higher AK (r = −0.305, p < 0.01; r = 0.408, p < 0.01) in 2007 and 2017. Soil OM and AK in 2007 were significantly (p < 0.05) correlated with soil texture (p < 0.05). In contrast, oil AP and soil pH in 2007 and all SCPs in 2017 were poorly correlated with soil texture. The cropping systems played an important role in affecting all SCPs in 2007 (p < 0.01), while they only significantly affected AK in 2017 (p < 0.05). Our findings demonstrate that both topological factors, that is, the changes in cropping management and the changes in acid rain, impact soil chemical properties. The local government should place more focus on reducing soil acid amounts, soil AP content, and soil erosion by improving water conservancy facilities.
