SURFACE AREA AND OTHER SOIL PROPERTIES<br />

Surface area is highly sensitive indicator of various processes occurring in<br />

soils: organic matter accumulation, leaching and oxidation, soil acidification,<br />

alkalization, silica accumulation, wetting-drying cycles and many others. Surface<br />

area is well correlated with many soil properties, as this is shown in Table 1.<br />

Table 1. Correlation coefficients of linear regression between the specific surface<br />

area, obtained from water vapour and nitrogen, and selected properties of<br />

mineral soils (482 soil samples)<br />
