Organic matter in soil size and density fractions from maize and legume cropping systems
1996
Barrios, E. | Buresh, R. | Sprent, J.
Soil organic matter (SOM) plays an essential role in biologically-mediated nutrient availability. There is, however, a lack of functionally-defined measures of SOM. The authors analysed C and N in particle-size, density and size-density fractions of SOM in order to identify the measures of SOM most affected by maize and legume cropping systems. Soil was collected after the eighth cropping season (4 years) from an experiment on a Kandic Rhodustalf in Kenya.
