soil humus composition
Effect of land use on group and fractional composition of humus in rendzina soils in Serbia
Department for Pedology and Geology, Faculty of Agriculture, Belgrade-Zemun (1,2)
Center for Multidisciplinary Studies, Belgrade (3)
The effect of land use on group and fractional composition of humus was examined in 13 rendzina profiles under forests, 12 profiles under grassland and 8 profiles under arable fields in different parts of Serbia where rendzinas are typically found. The difference regarding land use of rendzina soils (depending on cultural practices or absence of any, and different amounts and quality of plant residues) under forest, grassland or arable fields had a highly significant statistical effect on humus group composition and the fractional composition of humic and fulvic acids.
