The distribution of Mn, Fe, Gu, and Zn in topsoils and herbage of North West Pembrokeshire

  • Carolyn Wilkins (a1)
Summary

Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn were determined in topsoil and herbage samples from sites in North West Pembrokeshire. Means and ranges for these elements are given and the distribution is shown throughout the sampled area.

There are no clear relationships between the total amounts of these elements in the soils and the amounts found in herbage but it is shown that soil drainage strongly influences both soil and plant concentrations, and pH has a strong influence on Mn concentrations in soils and plants.

Seasonal variation in plant uptake of these elements is discussed and the effect of soil contamination of herbage, especially on Fe content. It is hoped that data from this area can be used as a guide to the range of values found for Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn in soils and herbage of an area relatively unpolluted from industrial sources for comparison with more polluted regions.
