Contribution of Particulate and Mineral-Associated Organic Matter to Potential Denitrification of Agricultural Soils

Water-extractable organic carbon (WEOC) is considered as the most important carbon (C) source for denitrifying organisms, but the contribution of individual organic matter (OM) fractions (i.e., particulate (POM) and mineral-associated (MOM)) to its release and, thus, to denitrification remains unres...
