| ABSTRACT |
| Incubation experiments were conducted to investigate the dynamics of low-molecular-weight aliphatic acids in two andosols with and without plant materials. Results showed that amount of low-molecular-weight aliphatic acids in soils alone varied considerably with water regime under which the soil was incubated, duration of incubation and soil organic matter content, ranging from 257~860 μmol kg-1 soil , of which 19%~33% was in free state. Incorporation of plant materials increased greatly both the amount and number of members of low-molecular-weight aliphatic acids, and also the proportion of low-molecular-weight aliphatic acids occurred in free state. Generally, among these aliphatic acids detected, acetic, propionic, glyoxalic and formic acids were predominant. |
