Abstract
METHODS SO far used for studying the evolution of carbon dioxide resulting from the decomposition of soil organic matter1, although satisfactory for periods of 24 hr. or more, do not permit measurements for shorter periods, which may be important in studying the immediate effects of soil treatments.
