Abstract
Water-soluble phenolic compounds were measured in fresh and decomposed animal manures. Following manure addition to soil, less than 50% of t he water-soluble phenolic compounds were recovered within 1 h. The con centration of phenolic compounds decreased more slowly with decreasing temperatures to 4-degrees-C and increasing soil moisture content duri ng a 14-d incubation. The results suggest that water-soluble phenolic compounds were both adsorbed onto soil particles and decomposed by mic roorganisms.
