ABSTRACT
Redox potential has principal
influences on formation and attribute of soils and it is necessary to research
the measurement of soil redox potential. The self-made potentiometer and two
indigenous FJA-5 potentiometers were employed to measure the Eh values of fir
forest soils in situ, which lied in Savage Sea Beauty Spot
in
