The values of the available forms of the different macro- and micronutrients obtained by IEM extraction were compared with the values of the soluble form obtained by conven- tional extraction methods. In surface soil sample, the concentrations of available potassium, nitrate, phosphate, iron and boron were 37.7 mg·kg –1 , 17.5 mg·kg –1 , 3.6 mg·kg –1 , 171.0 μg·kg –1 , and 4.2 μg·kg –1 respectively were greater than that , 109.0 μg·kg , and 1.9 μg·kg of soluble forms of the same elements which were 7.0 mg·kg respectively. –1 , 9.2 mg·kg , 0.4 mg·kg –1 –1 –1 –1 Keywords: Ion Exchange Membrane; Available Ions; Soil; Nutrients; Palestine 1. Introduction suitable for soil testing because multi-element in soil can be tested [9,11]. Other advantages of IEM include greater sensitivity to environmental conditions, the potential abi- lity to mimic nutrient uptake by roots, no diffusion prob- lem due to its flat
