| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Salt accumulation is a world-wide issue at arid and semi-arid regions. Problems of sodic soils and reclamation of the soil by using Ca amendments have been studying for several decades. Besides, vast salt accumulated areas are covered by carbonates such as calcium carbonate, too. Carbonates are often less soluble with water and this made carbonates accumulations difficult to be remediated. However, carbonates attain equilibrium with water and CO2 in soil air phase. CO2 concentration of soil air phase may be far greater than that in atmosphere due to soil respiration, and this may enhance solubility of carbonates. To discuss role of variable soil CO2 concentrations on carbonates fate and sodic soil reclamation, we constructed laboratory soil column experimental scheme. In the column, soil CO2 concentration can be controlled as well as soil moisture and CO2 concentration can be monitored continuously.
