Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :Six parallel column experiments were carried out in duplicate using 15 cm thick soil cores collected from the oxidized soil layers (between 70 and 85 cm below the ground surface) of the Risöfladan experimental acid sulfate soil field in Vaasa
Details of the area as well as the soil physicochemical properties and parameters of the experimental field have been reported previously (Åström et al.
the sampled soil cores (sealed in rubber membranes) were packed into columns and flushed with either aseptically prepared MQ (reference test
hereafter referred to as “R”) or mitigation suspensions using a well-tested experimental apparatus
which could effectively avoid bypass flow and thus
allowing the MQ or mitigation suspensions to infiltrate through the network of hydrologically active macropores at controlled flow rates (50 or 100 mL/h)
Science of the Total EnvironmentCitation Excerpt :Boreal actual AS soil has been intensely investigated including at the Risöfladan experimental field
Here the old sediments have developed into a typical actual AS soil during 60 years and mitigation techniques for reducing the environmental impact of acidic and metal-rich drainage waters have been studied (e.g
The Laihianjoki (Toby å) and Sulvanjoki (Solf å) Rivers drain large geographical areas into an estuary close to the Risöfladan experimental field on the Finnish west coast
Biocatalysis and Agricultural BiotechnologyCitation Excerpt :These soils are not suitable for agriculture due to low levels of nutrients and high levels of toxic Al3+ and Fe2+ compounds (Enio et al.
2018) may cause low yields (Johnston et al.
2016) and the accumulation of these toxic metals in rice may present a risk to human health (Tóth et al.
The adverse effects on rice yield of ASS have been demonstrated by quantitative analysis of root length inhibition (Roy and Bhadra
2014) and number of shoots (Choudhury et al.
