Seasonal dynamics of the mineral nitrogen forms in mountain-meadow alpine soils
The good agreement between the changes in the concentrations of ammonium and nitrate nitrogen, on the one hand, and the mineralization and nitrification activities, on the other hand, was shown in the annual d...

Phosphorus in humus acids
The distribution of phosphorus among humus acid groups in different soil types was studied. It was shown that the binding of P with acid-soluble and-insoluble organic components is determined by the acid-base ...

Soils and nutrient turnover
Mountain soils are highly variable and their properties depend on several abiotic (climate, geology, slope processes etc.) as well as biotic (vegetation, animal and microbial activity etc.) factors. In this ch...
