Retention and Fixation of Ammonium and Ammonia in Soils
Abstract
Large quantities of N in the form of Ammonium (NH4 +) and Ammonia (NH3) are being used to increase crop production in agriculture. The reactions involved and the nature of the complexes formed when NH4 + and NH3 are brought into contact with soil materials are of interest from both agronomical and theoretical viewpoints. This chapter reviews the nature of NH3 adsorption by clays and organic matter. It discusses the fixation of NH4 +. The chapter considers the cation exchange with emphasis on NH4 +. The adsorption affinity of univalent cations to soil colloids usually increases with decreasing size of the hydrated ions. The thermodynamic treatment of cation exchange reactions can give valuable information about the reaction mechanisms in ideal systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
