The organic matter existing in volcanic soils must be investigated not only in quantity, but also in quality in order to understand its role in soils and thus ensure adequate levels of stable organic polymers contributing to soil humification.The meaningful contribution proposed by this investigation is based on the study of the interaction of soil organic matter (SOM) in its fractions humic acid and fulvic acid with metallic elements that are macro-and micronutrients and also contaminants. The study was carried out in Chilean soils of the type Andisols and Ultisols. To this end, humic acids and fulvic acids were fractionated to determine phenolic, carboxylic and total acidity. 2083
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.
