Short-term changes of pH and volatilization of ammonia in 3 soil types from urea were studied. The result indicated that: At 25℃ the speed order of urea hydrolysis in 3 soil types was alluvial vegetable garden soil>redvegetable soil>tea garden soil; the changes of pH rose first,and then fell;volatilization of ammonia; followed the changes of soil pH.ammonia volatilization intensity order in 3 soil types was alluvial vegetable garden soil>red vegetable garden soil>tea garden soil.In alluvial vegetable garden soil,with the increasing of temperat...
