Abstract

The concentrations of cobalt, zirconium, nickel, copper, vanadium, molybdenrun, manganese, and zinc have been determined in 10 profiles of terra rossas and 9 of rendzinas from South Australia. The soils from the lower south-eastern part of the State contain lower concentrations of all these elements than do those near Adelaide, particularly for cobalt, copper, and zinc. This difference is reflected in the concentrations found in the underlying calcareous material, and can account for the widespread deficiencies in cobalt and copper which occur ill the South-East.
