Abstract: A study on the effects of two moisture levels (200 and 400g·kg-1) and wetting-drying on the solubility of Mn in Ca(NO3)2-amended soils showed that water regime was a factor affecting Mn availability.Easily reducible Mn was transformed into soluble and exchangeable Mn,when soil water content was high.Salt had a definite effect on the transformation of easily reducible Mn.NO3- could decrease soil redox potential,and inhibit the transformation of easily reducible Mn.Wetting-drying significantly(α<0 05) decreased the content of soil water-soluble and exchangeable Mn,while Ca(NO3)2 increased the insolubility of Mn,which might eventually lead to the deficiency of soil Mn.
