Current Understanding of the Use of Alkaline Extractions of Soils to Investigate Soil Organic Matter and Environmental Processes

Abstract: A better understanding of soil organic matter (SOM) biogeochemistry is critical to meeting the environmental challenges that we face currently with the changing climate. Humic substances obtained from alkaline extractions of soils have played a predominant role in developing our knowledge of SOM chemistry and behavior during the 20th century. Recently, there have been new important developments that, according to some researchers, may be used to argue against the existence of the humic substances in soils as t… Show more

“…Other methods evaluated in this study that had evidently higher Range fc4 [(17, 19, 57-59); in Poeplau et al (24)] all used chemical agents either for density fractionation (sodium polytungstate), alkaline extraction (sodium diphosphate) or OM oxidation (H 2 O 2 , NaOCl 2 ). Besides higher work load through acquisition of additional fractions that have to be investigated and measured separately, chemical agents might change the chemical composition of POM (60,61). However, water has no effect on the chemistry of POM (60).…”

“…In organic matter the exposed carboxyl group is the major source of charge that contributes to the ion exchange [24]. When decomposition of organic matter takes place it convert into very complex form of compounds such as humic acid, fulvic acid, humin and derivatives of amino acid and phenolic acid with a structure in the form of R-CH 3 -COOH and R-CH 2 -COOH [25]. When pH of soil decreased (high acidity), the proton (H + ) concentrations in soil solution increases (Fig.…”

“…In acidic soil of pH close to 5.5-6.0, dissociation process to give negative charge in humus is mainly by carboxylic group and above pH 6.0 by the phenolic (OH) group. Below pH 5.0 different compounds of organic matter fails to dissociates for giving negative charge to the soil [25]. At some intermediate pH, the dissociation and protonation process equals leaving the net charge zero on the ion exchange complex, which is called as zero point charge (ZPC).…”

“…The debates on the extraction and fractionation of HS have continue until present and still concentrate on the question of how the materials obtained by chemical extraction represent true structure and biological function of organic matter (Kleber and Johnson, 2010;Lehman and Kleber, 2015;Olk et al, 2019). However, it does not change a commonly accepted statement that there is no better alternative than sodium hydroxide solution for the separation of the humic substances from soil (Schnitzer and Monreal, 2011;Ohno et al, 2019), despite an increasing suitability of non-destructive quantitative analysis (Chodak, 2008;Strouhalova et al, 2019;Wells, 2019). However, even scientist who support the classical alkaline extractions in SOM studies, faced a problem of inconsisten-cy between extraction procedures and possible incomparability of their results (Andrzejewski, 1963;Mucha, 1961).…”
