High levels of exchangeable manganese found in Norwegian soil profiles.
The study looked at different types of acidic soil in Norway to see how much manganese was present. They found that the top layer had the highest amount of manganese, while the deeper layers had more organic matter. The researchers discovered that the amount of manganese was related to the pH level and the presence of organic matter in the soil. Overall, the findings suggest that the distribution of manganese in these soils is influenced by the acidity and organic content.
