Ie. Koroleva et al., THE EFFECT OF TEXTURE AND MINERALOGICAL COMPOSITION OF SODDY-PODZOLICSOILS ON NITROGEN-FIXATION FROM FERTILIZERS, Eurasian soil science, 31(10), 1998, pp. 1100-1106
The capacity of soddy-podzolic soils to fix ammonium nitrogen from fer
tilizers was studied. The experiment demonstrated that this depends on
soil texture, especially on the content of fine fractions and their m
ineralogical composition. Soil aggregates of different dimensions were
estimated quantitatively from the viewpoint of soil fertility.
