We investigated the effects of different application rates of insoluble hydrophilic polyacrylate polymers on plant growth and soil quality from a Pb-contaminated mine soil. The polymer increased the waterholding capacity of the soil from about 250 g ⁄ kg in unamended soil to almost 1000 g ⁄ kg in soil with 0.6% polymer. However, the capacity of the polymer to retain water decreased progressively, presumably as ...
