| ABSTRACT |
| Acid sulfate voile (ASS), widely distributed in Australia. This has only been recognised recently when intensive rmearch on ASS has been done in this country. This paper reviews aspects concerning a) the distribution and acid potential, b) controls on acidic status, and c) problems and management of ASS in Australia. It is believed that the Australian experience may be useful for other countries where potential problems from ASS exist but insufficient attention was paid to them. |
