Abstract
Methoxyl-carbon contents of some New Zealand volcanic ash soils have been measured and the results examined with reference to the humification sequence for similar soils proposed by Japanese soil scientists. All the New Zealand soils examined showed relatively early stages of humification, which, on present evidence, might be accounted for by differences in climate between Japan and New Zealand.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
