Sódio, cálcio e magnésio em Braun-Blanquet (1932)

Antagonistic Effect of the lons.—The classic investigations by Loeb (1906) have shown that certain salts such as sodium chloride, when alone, have a poisonous effect upon plants but that with the addition of magnesium or calcium the poisonous nature of the sodium chloride solution may be decreased or entirely neutralized. [Nota de rodapé 1: Instructive examples of the antagonistic action of different ions are also cited by Iljin (1925).] In this antagonistic action the concentration of the solutions doubtless plays an important role (see also p. 186). (Braun-Blanquet 1932:180)

The sulphates occur mostly as sodium sulphate, Na₂SO₄, or as magnesium sulphate, MgSO₄; calcium sulphate, CaSO₄, occurs more rarely, and sometimes the chlorides predominate. (Braun-Blanquet 1932:201)
