Since year 1977 until 2005, PT. ANTAM has been exploited nickel ore resources at Gebe Island – Center ofHalmahera District – North Maluku Province. Mining activity, beside give economically advantages also causedegradation of environment quality espicially land quality. Therefore, it need evaluation activity for change ofland quality at Gebe Island after mining activity.From chemical rehabilitation aspect, post mining land and rehabilitation land indacate very lack and lackfertility (base saturated 45,87 – 99,6%; cation exchange capacity 9,43 – 12,43%; Organic Carbon 1,12 –2,31%). From availability of nutrirnt element aspect, post mining land and rehabilitation land indicate verylack and lack fertility (nitrogen 0,1 – 1,19%). Base on that data, it can be concluded that land reclamationactivity not yet achieve standart condition of chemical land.Key words : land quality, post mining lan

Abstract. Essential and non-essential metals occur in soils as a result of weathering, industrial processes, fertilization, and atmospheric deposition. Badly adapted cultivation of agricultural soils (declining pH value, application of unsuitable fertilizers) can enhance the mobility of metals and thereby increase their concentrations in agricultural products. As the enrichment of metals in soils occurs over long time periods, monitoring of the long-term impact of fertilization is necessary to assess metal accumulation in agricultural soils. The main objective of this study was to test the effects of different mineral fertilizer variations on soil properties (pH, Corg, and cation exchange capacity (CEC)) and pseudo-total and mobile metal contents of soils after 14 years of fertilizer application and to determine residual effects of the fertilization 8 years after cessation of fertilizer treatment. Soil samples were taken from a field experiment which was carried out at four different locations (210, 260, 360, and 620 m above sea level) in Hesse, Germany. During the study, a significant decrease in soil pH and an evident increase in soil carbon content and cation exchange capacity with fertilization were determined. The CEC of the soils was closely related to their organic C contents. Moreover, pseudo- and mobile metal (Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb, Zn) contents in the soils increased due to application of 14 years of mineral fertilizer treatments (N, P, NP, and NPK) when compared to control plots. Eight years after termination of the fertilization in the soil samples taken from soil profiles of the fertilized plots (NPK) for monitoring the residual effects of the fertilizer application, a decrease of 82.6, 54.2, 48.5, 74.4, and 56.9% in pseudo-total Cd, Cu, Mn, Pb, and Zn contents, respectively, was determined.

Two hundred fifty geo-referenced surfaces (0-15 cm) soil samples were collected and analysed for macronutrients and micronutrients to study fertility status in soils of Dima Hasao district of Assam and their relationship with some important soil properties. Soils of the district were found to be extremely acidic to slightly acidic in reaction with a low to high organic carbon content and low in cation exchange capacity. The soil of the district indicated that the available nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium status was observed to the tune of 14.0 %,7.2% and 67.2% under low and 86.0 %, 92.8 % and 32.8 %under medium categories, respectively. The overall percent deficient of exchangeable calcium, magnesium and available sulphur in soils was 25.6, 30.4 and 6.8 %, respectively. Based on critical limit, all soils were adequately supplied with DTPA-extractable Fe, Mn and Cu content. In respect of zinc and boron, soils exhibited 90.4 and 73 per cent under sufficient, while, 2.4 and 12 per cent were found deficient in DTPA -Zn and HWS-B, respectively. Soil pH and EC showed positive correlation with macro nutrients and negative correlation with micronutrients. The macro- and micronutrient showed significant positive relation with soil organic carbon and cation exchange capacity.

To evaluate the effect of biochar on soil characteristics and maize yields in meadow soil, a three-year field experiment was performed using different amounts of biochar (0, 10, 20, 40, and 80 t/ha). The soil pH decreased over time when biochar was applied to weakly basic soil. Single biochar applications increased the organic carbon, total nitrogen, available K, and cation exchange capacity for three continuous years, in proportion to the amount of biochar applied. However, as time progressed, the soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, available K, and cation exchange capacity began to decrease. The biochar stimulated the availability of soil phosphorus in the meadow soil and stably increased the available P content in the soil for three years. For maize, the biochar application decreased the occurrence of barren ear tips and increased the ear length, grain number per row, 100-kernel weight, and yield. When the single applications of biochar were greater than 40 t/ha, the soil characteristics showed continuous improvements and the maize yields stably increased for three years.

Exchangeable Ca

The efficiency of the soil testing method used in Finland for predicting the effective cation-exchange capacity was studied in a material of 430 topsoil samples. The effective cation-exchange capacity was estimated 1) by summation of exchangeable Ca, Mg and acidity displaced by unbuffered 1 M KCI and 2) by summation of exchangeable Ca, Mg, K and Na displaced by neutral 1 M ammonium acetate and exchangeable acidity. In soil testing, Ca, Mg and K were extracted by acid ammonium acetate and soil pH measured in water-suspension. The estimates of the effective CEC were highly correlated and dependent on the clay and organic carbon content and pH(CaCl2) of the soil, the coefficient of multiple determination being over 80 %. Exchangeable Ca was the dominating cation. The proportion of Ca of the effective CEC was about 80 %. Acid ammonium acetate-extractable Ca together with pH(H2O) explained over 80 % of the variation in the effective CEC. For the whole material consisting of mineral soils with great variations in texture, organic carbon content and properties under evaluation, the regression equation predicting the effective CEC (KCI method) was CEC (mval/kg) = 309—56.8pH(H2O) + 0.085Ca(mg/l). Only 16 % of the estimates of the effective CEC calculated with this regression equation deviated more than 15 % from the measured values.

Upland Soils

Relationships between cation exchange capacity (CEC), clay and organic carbon contents and soil pH were analyzed by way of multiple regressions for upland soils in eastern Canada (mostly Ontario, with additional data for New Brunswick). This was done by vegetation type in an attempt to explain some of the otherwise unexplained CEC variations. Data were taken from about 2000 soil horizons (organic L, F, and H horizons as well as A, B, and C mineral soil horizons) under broadleaves (mostly maples, beech, birch or aspen as dominant species), conifers (mostly fir, spruces and/or pines), and grass vegetation. For the organic forest floor horizons (or L, F, and H horizons), both organic carbon content (%) and pH were highly significant for predicting CEC, i.e.,CEC (L, F, and H of broadleaves) = −38 + 0.71 × org. C (%) + 10.3 × pH (R2 = 0.69), andCEC (L, F and H of conifers) = −31 + 0.34 × org. C (%) + 12.1 × pH (R2 = 0.58).For the mineral soil, clay and organic carbon contents (%) and pH were highly significant for predicting CEC. Soils with forest vegetation were found to have lower contributions of organic matter to CEC than grassland soils, i.e.,CEC (forest soils) = −7.0 + 0.29 × clay (%) + 0.82 × org. C (%) + 1.4 × pH (R2 = 0.72),CEC (wooded grasslands) = −6.0 + 0.31 × clay (%) + 1.31 × org. C (%) + 1.0 pH (R2 = 0.74), andCEC (grasslands) = −8.3 + 0.24 × clay (%) + 2.14 × org. C (%) + 1.3 × pH (R2 = 0.79).Relationships that were developed from Ontario data for specific vegetational types (maple sites, strongly podzolized conifer sites, grasslands/croplands) were tested by comparing CEC predictions with reported values for similar sites in New Brunswick and Quebec. The predictions were consistent with the general trends for maple sites and grasslands/croplands, but CEC values were strongly overpredicted for Podzolic subsoils on conifer sites.Literature information of the CEC dependency on in situ pH is sparse. Existing information that is based on buffering grassland/cropland soil samples from pH 2.5 to 8 appears to mimic this dependency quite well.
