Abstract:Increases in nitrite in ten gamma-irradiated soils have been investigated under aerobic conditions up to 7 days after treatment over the range 0-25-2-5 Mrad. The formation of nitrite showed significant correlations with the percentage of soil inorganic carbon and incubation time, and over 100 ppm nitrite-N accumulated within 3 days in Broadmoor series, which contained the most inorganic carbon. Only the very acid series failed to produce nitrite, but formation and persistence was poor in all soils below pH 7.L… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
