Abstract

Mixtures of Woburn (non‐calcareous) and Barnfield (calcareous) soils, with and without added monocalcium phosphate, and of Woburn soil with added CaCO3, were stored moist in an incubator at 25 ± 2 °C. Equilibrium phosphate concentrations in 0·01M CaCl2 and pH were measured on moist soils and mono‐calcium phosphate (½pCa+pH2PO4) and lime (pH–½pCa) potentials were calculated at intervals up to 670 days. Most of the mixtures remained under‐saturated with respect to CaCO3; values of ½pCa+pH2PO4 and pH–½pCa changed during storage but remained close to the solubility isotherm for octacalcium phosphate (OCP). Mixtures which reached equilibrium with CaCO, remained undersaturated with respect to OCP.
