Abstract

Soil organic matter is defined as the dead material from plants and animals and the respective degradation and transformation products in and on mineral soil (Schachtschabel et al. 1989). The organic matter subjected to microbial decay in soils comes from several sources. The decomposition of organic matter provides energy for the growth of microorganisms and supplies carbon for the formation of new cell material.
