Relating sulfate sorption in forest soils to lithological classes, as defined to calculate Critical Loads of Acidity

Weathering rates, as required for the determination of Critical Loads of Acidity, can be approximated by using lithological classes defined based on the acid buffering capacity of the different parent materials. Sulfate sorption capacity of soils may also be required for the determination of Critical Loads of Acidity, especially in acid soils rich in Al and Fe oxy-hydroxides. The objective of this study was to determine if a relationship between...
