Forms of Manganese and their Association with Soil Properties in Soils of Homs Governorate


Abstract in English

This study was undertaken to evaluate the chemical speciation and distribution of Mn in soils of Homs Governorate. Sequential extraction scheme was used to fractionate Mn into exchangeable, bound to carbonate, bound to manganese (Mn) and iron (Fe) oxide, organically bound, and residual forms.
