I am looking for a reference or the raw data for any chemical characterization of Lufa Speyer soils (in particular Lufa 2.4) other than the particle size distribution provided by the supplier. I am looking for the elemental composition of the soils, trace metal distributions and description of any other parameters which might be useful in modeling the fate of contaminants in these soils. Many thanks

Standard soils are used especially for permission studies according to GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) investigating leaching, degradation and metabolism, influence on soil microflora and fauna, adsorption/desorption characteristics of pesticides in soils as well as for pot experiments and other investigations in the laboratory and in the field. In guidelines of the German JKI (Julis-Kühn-Institut) and other relating guidelines (OECD) soils with certain characteristics are recommended. Standard soils are also used in very different experiments not concerning pesticides.
For these purposes LUFA Speyer offers Standard soil types differing especially in their organic matter content, particle size distribution and pH-value.
