Tab. 3: Chemical analyses of two soil profiles from Arctowski Station (King George Island)

Profile I( 1-7) = Podzol, profile II (1-8) = Regosol. Electrical conductivity (EC) and pH values were analyzed in soil solutions (I :2.5) with water and O.O1n CaCl2, mobile C and Fe were extracted by Na-pyrophosphate and measured via optical density of the extract and AAS, respectively. Al was not detectable.
