Abstract:The study aimed to determine the soil physicochemical conditions, soil quality index (SQI), its relationship to soil total mercury (THg), and their spatial autocorrelation of the two mercury- contaminated agricultural areas in Monkayo, Davao de Oro, Philippines. Soil physicochemical parameters and THg were assessed, and the data underwent principal component analysis (PCA). The minimum data set (MDS) revealed that percent sand, pH, THg, phosphorus (P), and organic carbon (OC) significantly contributed to the S… 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.
