Abstract

Many methods have been developed for assessing the availability of soil nutrients, but for a variety of reasons none are universally applicable. In this chapter, we discuss the conceptual basis for measuring nutrient availability and describe the strengths and limitations of some of the methods for assessing nonagricultural soils. We also discuss methods for characterizing soil acidity, salinity and redox potential because they often control nutrient cycling and availability.
