Effects of land use changes on organic matter dynamics and trace metal solubility in soils.

Conversion of agricultural land to forest or pasture has a profound impact on soil chemical conditions. Major changes include effects on soil pH, soil organic matter (SOM) content and dissolved organic carbon (DOC). First, the observed pH, SOM, and DOC dynamics as well as the consequences of those changes will be summarized followed by a synopsis of the impact of these changes on trace metal solubility and speciation in the soil solution. Finally, the various model approaches that were applied will be discussed in the light of their usefulness, validity and predictive capacity.
