Soil

All soil samples listed below were obtained by Dr. L. T,
Alexander and extracted at the Soil Survey Laboratory, U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Beltsville, Maryland. Note that
most soils have been extracted with normal natural ammonium
acetate which is a measure of the strontium and calcium
available for plant uptake and not of the total soil concentration, Soil Survey Laboratory analyses on these samples
include the determination of Na, K, Mg, Ca and Sr.
