Abstract/Contents:"Research at Michigan State University suggests that black layer is an accumulation of metal sulfides and is biologically produced. It suggests that metal sulfide formation is enhanced by organic matter and can be prevented by nitrate. Waterlogged soils incubated in vitro with sulfur readily developed black layer within 14 days while soils incubated with sulfur plus nitrate did not. When waterlogged soils were incubated with increasing amounts of organic matter, metal sulfide content increased provided S and iron were not limiting. Soils were also examined for the presence of sulfur reducing bacteria, which produce the sulfide. All soils examined contained these organisms."
