Each plant species has a unique chemical composition, and also within a given plant the
various tissues differ from one another in their chemistry. These different compositions can …

Changes in the molecular composition of ester-linked aliphatic compounds with depth in an
acid andic forest soil are studied. Thermally assisted hydrolysis and methylation (THM) …

The origin and chemical nature of soil organic matter (SOM) in the ectorganic (L, F and H)
horizons from four profiles from different stages of a primary vegetation succession on drift …

Extractable and solvent insoluble, ester-bound lipids were analysed in an acid, sandy soil
profile under Corsican pine. The n-alkanes and alkanoic acids from the soil profile showed …

The hydrolyzable lipid composition of grassland and forest soils, and their overlying
vegetation (ie, prairie grasses, aspen, and pine) were analyzed by alkaline hydrolysis and …

The base-hydrolysable fraction of roots and soil organic matter (SOM) in mineral subsoils
from oak forests (coastal dunes, The Netherlands) with a soil pH varying from pH (CaCl2) …

Soil samples from the A horizon of an Eutrochrept under spruce forest and permanent grass
were fractionated into clay‐, silt‐and sand‐size separates. Humic acids extracted from each …

Unusually high SOC levels have been reported for sandy cropland soils in North-Western
Europe. A potential link with their general heathland land-use history was investigated by …

The fate of leaf lipids upon early diagenesis was monitored in a two year litterbag
experiment in a soil and at the water-sediment interface of an adjacent pond. The biomarker …

During the stabilization of plant residues into soil humus, organic matter is transformed
continuously to different chemical compounds. To obtain a better understanding of these …
