Acid Sulphate

<p>Organic matter has a function to maintain reductive conditions and to chelate toxic elements in acid sulphate soils. The study aimed to assess the dynamics of ferrous iron (Fe2+) in acid sulphate soil and its correlation with soil redox potential (Eh) and plant growth. The experiment was arranged in two factorial randomized block design with three replications. The first factor was two types of organic matter: (1) control (without organic matter), (2) rice straw and (3) rush weed (Eleocharis dulcis). The second factor was time of decomposition of organic matter: I1 = 2 weeks, I2 = 4 weeks, I3 = 8 weeks, and I4 = 12 weeks (farmer practice). The results showed that concentration of ferrous iron in the soil ranged from 782 to 1308 mg kg-1 during the rice growing season. The highest constant rate of iron reduction (k F2+) was observed on application of rice straw and rush weed with decomposition time of 8 weeks with the k Fe2+ value of 0.016 and 0.011 per day, respectively, while the ferrous iron formation without organic matter had the k Fe2+ value of 0.077 per day. The ferric iron (Fe3+) reduction served as a function of soil Eh as indicated by the negative correlation of ferrous iron and Eh (r = -0.856*). Organic matter decreased exchangeable iron due to chelating reaction. Iron concentration in roots was negatively correlated with soil soluble iron (r = -0.62*). Application of rice straw decomposed for 8 weeks increased the height of rice plant up to 105.67 cm. The score of Fe2+ toxicity at 8 weeks after planting ranged from 2 to 3, so rice crop did not show iron toxicity symptoms. </p>

Straw Application

Swampland development such as acid sulphate soil for agricultural cultivation has various problem, including high soil acidity, fluctuated and unpredictable water flooding and the presence of toxic elements such as Fe which resulting in low crop yields. The research was conducted at the experimental station Belandean, Barito Kuala regency in dry season 2007.  The objective of research was to study the effect of rice straw on the dynamic of soil pH, the concentration of iron and sulphate and yield on tidal land acid sulphate soil at two different water inlet channel. This research was designed in RCBD (Randomized Completely Block Design) with five treatments (0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5 and 10 Mg ha-1) and four replications. Dolomite as much as 1 Mg ha-1 was also applied.  This research was divided into two sub-units experiment i.e. two conditions of different water inlet channel. The first water channels were placed with limestone and the second inlet was planted with Eleocharis dulcis.  The results showed that (i) rice straw application did not affect the dynamic of soil pH, concentration of iron and sulphate, and (ii) the highest yield was obtained with 7.5 Mg ha-1 of rice straw.

Environmental Controls

Relationships between environmental variables and species distribution were studied in a brackish intertidal marsh formed by the Skagit River as it enters the Puget Sound bay system in Washington. Transects were established which covered the range of environmental variation in the marsh. A grid of environmental measuring stations provided information on soil texture, organic content of soil fines, macroorganic material in the soil, soil temperatures, interstitial soil water salinity, soil redox potential, and site elevation. Binary discriminant analysis, a nonparametric method using species presence–absence data, was used to construct standardized residual matrices. Principal component analysis of standardized residuals (Q mode) indicated that salinity and soil texture were strongly correlated with the first factor generated, elevation with the second, and soil redox potential with the third. The factors explained, respectively, 48, 21, and 14% of the variance in the residuals matrix. From R-mode analysis, eight community types were derived: three dominated by Carex lyngbyei, two by Scirpus americanus, one by Scirpus maritimus, and two which are highly diverse.
