Review text

Soil acidification often leads to exchange reactions that increase the concentration of toxic aluminium ions in the soil. Under the assumption of an instantaneous equilibrium these concentrations are computed as solutions of a nonlinear algebraic equations system. Usually these computations involve numerical complications. This paper takes up a kinetic model proposed by \textit{E. Bosatta} [Ecol. Modelling 20, 165-173 (1983)]. For a fundamental hydrogen-aluminium exchange reaction it is proved that the algebraic equilibrium can be approximated uniformly by the solution of a corresponding differential equation system, in the autonomous case as well as in the case of external periodic perturbations caused by acid deposition and leaching. Since the solutions of the kinetic model can be computed straightforwardly by numerical integration methods, the kinetic approximation should be more convenient for numerical simulation of soil chemistry processes.
