Ts. Demkina et Bn. Zolotareva, DETERMINATION OF THE RATE OF MINERALIZATION OF HUMIC SUBSTANCES IN SOILS, Eurasian soil science, 30(10), 1997, pp. 1085-1089
A simple approach to the calculation of the rate of mineralization of
humic substances in soil is proposed. The method is based on the measu
rement of microbiological parameters and allows the determination of t
he rate in any layer of soil at any given moment. The results obtained
by this method match the data obtained by other methods for analogous
and related types of soil.
