Influence of Photochemical Reactions on the Content and Transformation of Mineral Nitrogen in Sod-Podzol Soil
Keyword(s):
The article discusses the photochemical effects of sunlight on the soil. Under the influence of light energy the amount of mineral and easy hydrolysable nitrogen, as well as labile humus substances increased in the soil. The photochemical destruction of humus substances was accompanied by an increase in their mobility and loss of colour. The article shows that the process of mineral nitrogen formation in the soil during the photochemical destruction of humus substances has two stages. The first stage includes photochemical reactions with the formation of ammonium nitrogen. The second stage is the microbiological oxidation of ammonium nitrogen to the nitrate nitrogen.
