Abstract/Contents:Emphasizes the importance of the process of mineralization of organic substances in soil by microbes. States that "in most normal soils the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite and nitrate proceeds so fast that the formation of ammonia from the organic compounds may be obscured, and the only end product of the mineralization seems to be nitrate." Discusses the liberation of nitrogen from native humus and organic additives in both arable land and grassland. Describes the nitrogen balance in soil and the influence of the pH level and of liming on the mineralization of nitrogen. Also describes several methods for studying the rate of mineralization of nitrogen.
