On the soil chemistry of radio-strontium

Hilgardia, 1958, vol. 27, issue 13

Abstract: The advent of radioactive fallout has stimulated interest in the soil chemistry of radio-strontium. In the present research, the chemical behavior of added Sr 85 in 26 California soils was studied. On the basis of the results of various extraction procedures with ammonium acetate and calcium chloride, it is concluded that added radio-strontium is retained in the water soluble and exchangeable forms. Therefore, barring long-term fixation effects, it is largely available to plants.
