Opis (eng)

Abstract: Although phosphorus (P) is a crucial plant nutrient, it is associated with environmental problems such as eutrophication. The effect of Fe(III)-containing natural clinoptilolite (FeCLI) on P retention in peat soil, an acidic soil typically high in organic matter, was studied by a batch method. The effect was investigated both in pure peat and lime-amended peat. The peat amount and the rate of lime influenced the retention efficiency of FeCLI. The acidity of both pure peat and peat that have been amended with lime was decreased in the presence of FeCLI. All obtained results suggested that FeCLI can be considered as a beneficial soil supplement to support both soil fertility and water preservation.
