Humic and fulvic acids were extracted from marine and nonmarine Recent sediments and from soils, These acids are shown to be major components of the organic matter from marine and nonmarine sediments-some marine sediments may contain 70% of their organic carbon in the hmnic and fulvic acid fraction.Marine and terrestrial humic acids have similar carbon and hydrogen content, but the former generally contain more sulfur and nitrogen.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
