Acidity and Charge Characteristics of Marine Alluvial Soils from Carey Islands, Selangor

Six soil series from Carey Island were investigated to determine their acidity and charge characteristics. The study showed that the soils contained high amounts of basic cations, Al and S042-, which were reflected by their low pH and high electrical conductivity. The soils were highly buffered be...
