Abstract
Seasonal changes in the biomass of roots present, soil carbohydrates, content of aggregates, water-retention capacity, and bulk density were measured in a Gray Forest soil planted to barley. The effect of roots on macroporosity was demonstrated. Specific surface was measured reli ably by oxidizing the carbohydrates in the samples using Cheshire's me thod.
