“…based on a, the mean radius of curvature of the adsorbate-vapor interface, and a constant K. Generally, D s values ranged between 2.0 for plain surfaces and 3.0 for rough surfaces (Jozefaciuk et al, 2006). For the removal of organic matter from the soil samples, a combustion (muffling) procedure (Mayer, 1999;Wagai et al, 2009) was used to have a higher efficiency compared to chemical methods (Kaiser and Guggenberger, 2007) and to avoid dissolution or corrosion processes (Mayer, 1999).…”

“…PSD can be the basis for calculation of other soil characteristics such as fractal dimension (Bieganowski et al, 2013;Gunal et al, 2011;Usowicz and Lipiec, 2009) or modelling (Lamorski et al, 2008;Wei Shangguana et al, 2012). It can be used for characterization of soil and geomorphological processes (D³ugosz et al, 2009;Dobrowolski et al, 2012;Kabala and Zapart 2012;Józefaciuk et al, 2006;Waroszewski et al, 2013). PSD can be also the basis of other soil measurements (Brogowski and Kwasowski, 2012;Bryk, 2012).…”

The database of Polish arable mineral soils is presented. The database includes a lot of information about the basic properties of soils and their dynamic characteristics. It was elaborated for about 1 000 representative profiles of soils in Poland The database concerns: particle size distribution, organic carbon content, acidity-pH, specific surface area, hydrophobicity - solidliquid contact angle, static and dynamic hydrophysical properties, oxidation-reduction properties and selected biological (microbiological) properties of soils. Knowledge about soil characteristics is indispensable for description, interpretation and prediction of the course of physical, chemical and biological processes, and modelling these processes requires representative data. The utility of simulation and prediction models describing phenomena which take place in the soil-plant-atmosphere system greatly depends on the precision of data concerning characteristics of soil. On the basis of this database, maps of chosen soil properties are constructed. The aim of maps is to provide specialists in agriculture, ecology, and environment protection with an opportunity to gain knowledge of soil properties and their spatial and seasonal variability.

“…Furthermore, it has an influence on the water flow as well as dissolution and neutralization of various pollutants that have been introduced to soil. However, an extremely complex mineral, organic, and ionic composition (clay minerals, crystalline and amorphous iron and aluminum oxides, amorphous minerals, humus as well as clay-humus complexes) causes high non-uniformity and thereby difficulty in the interpretation of the soil medium properties (Józefaciuk et al, 2006;Sokołowska, 1992). Thus, studies of surface chemistry frequently involve the analysis of water vapour adsorption and potentiometric titration curves.…”

A b s t r a c t. Parameters of specific surface area as well as surface charge were used to determine and compare sorption properties of soils with different physicochemical characteristics. The gravimetric method was used to obtain water vapour isotherms and then specific surface areas, whereas surface charge was estimated from potentiometric titration curves. The specific surface area varied from 12.55 to 132.69 m 2 g -1 for Haplic Cambisol and Mollic Gleysol soil, respectively, and generally decreased with pH (R=0.835; α = 0.05) and when bulk density (R=-0.736; α = 0.05) as well as ash content (R=-0.751; α = 0.05) increased. In the case of surface charge, the values ranged from 63.00 to 844.67 µmol g -1 Haplic Fluvisol and Mollic Gleysol, respecively. Organic matter gave significant contributions to the specific surface area and cation exchange capacity due to the large surface area and numerous surface functional groups, containing adsorption sites for water vapour molecules and for ions. The values of cation exchange capacity and specific surface area correlated linearly at the level of R=0.985; α = 0.05.
