In our samples ~ 1% or fewer of labile C compounds contained P, while 5-6% of adsorbed C compounds contained both N and P. Using 31P NMR and ESI-FT-ICR-MS approaches, we found evidence of chemical changes in native soil P and organic matter to due land use change, specifically loss of organic forms of P and increased organic matter aromaticity in apple soils compared to native soils. A publication will be submitted in the next reporting period. Which of the following is not a major factor affecting soil development and its eventual productivity: a.

What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? This study examined how land use change has altered soil chemistry compared to native vegetation, focusing specifically on P and C fractions. Pi orthophosphate was highest in pine plantation and apple orchard in the row sites (66 and 67% of P detected, respectively) and lowest in native grassland (20% of P detected), while Po was highest in the native grassland soil (75% of P detected). Review Exercises 1. Although the native grassland site contained the highest amount of soil C, the sites were similar in total P. The largest extractable fraction at all sites was NaOH-extractable organic P (Po), and the quantity of Po (0.1M plus 0.5M extractions) did not differ significantly among the soils. Specifically, pH influences solubility and availability of plant nutrients, performance of pesticides (which include herbicides), and organic matter decomposition. Vol 120: 18-27. Organic soils.

Because soil organic matter stores both nutrients and water, it is a key to soil quality in both agricultural and forested ecosystems. Soil moisture: Extremes of both arid and anaerobic conditions reduce plant growth and microbial decomposition. The overall goal of this proposal is to help us understand the factors that preserve organic matter in soils and also understand how soil organic matter levels may be affected by rising temperatures over the coming decades. External factors affecting decomposition of organic matter are the temperature of the environment, amount of moisture, and exposure to air, clothing, burial factors, and exposure to light that also impact the process. This research shows that the conversion of native grasslands to apple orchards led to a decrease in organic matter quality and Po depletion while conversion to pine plantations has a low impact on these parameters.

Results from 2013 were reported at the American Society for Horticultural Sciences annual meeting Orlando, FL. Soil organic matter (SOM) serves multiple functions in the soil, including nutrient retention, water holding capacity, and soil aggregation and is a key indicator of soil quality. In addition, a laboratory study examined N and carbon (C) mineralization from the composts, and the usefulness of compost properties as predictors of compost N mineralization was assessed under field and laboratory conditions. Because soil organic matter stores both nutrients and water, it is a key to soil quality in both agricultural and forested ecosystems.

D. Decomposition and Storage of Organic Matter in Riparian Zones Wetting and drying has an important influence on litter decomposition and the distribution of in-stream and riparian POM, especially in the large areas of the tropics where streams experience alternation of distinct dry and wet seasons or monsoon cycles. Organic matter in the form of serum, blood, pus, or fecal or lubricant material can interfere with the antimicrobial activity of disinfectants in at least two ways.
