Humic substances are complex, heterogeneous mixtures of partially decomposed organic matter that occur ubiquitously in freshwater and marine systems. Comprised principally of humic acids, fulvic acids ...

Every farmer and every allotment gardener knows that humus is good for plant growth. But why? Humus contains humic substances. These substances have numerous advantages for the soil. In particular, ...

Humic substances are heterogeneous assemblies of organic molecules derived from the decomposition of lignin and other plant and microbial residues. They have been incorporated into poultry diets as ...

Granular biological product is designed to improve nutrient availability, strengthen soil health and help crops manage ...

Newswise — By simulating natural humification using controlled thermal treatments of crop residues, researchers show that humic substances formed at higher temperatures act as readily available carbon ...

With increasing pressure to efficiently produce more food, fiber and fuel to meet world demands, a number of soil and plant amendment products have emerged. These amendments are under the umbrella of ...

Researchers have uncovered surprising links between natural humification processes in soil, carbon metabolism, and the spread of antibiotic resistance. The findings provide fresh insight into how ...

In a finding that could reshape how scientists think about one of the world’s most abundant and least glamorous waste ...

Hydroxyl radical (·OH) is the most reactive oxidant and plays important roles in the biogeochemical cycle of elements and the attenuation of contaminants in the environment. In recent years, the redox ...
