Biochemical transformation of humic substances during humification related to their environmental functions
AbstractThe practical application of peats and peat products is closely connected with their humic substances. Our earlier investigations in natural ecosystems have shown that an increase in the degree of humification expressed in our humus quality K-values is connected with a decrease in C/N and related to yearly average temperature. Our results from the humification of peat layers have shown that the degree of humification is closely connected with an increase in hydrolysable N-content. This rule is shown to be independent of the nature and origin of peat layers. The results are suitable for predicting the possible application of peat humic substances in environmental protection and in human health (balneology, balneotherapy).
