Abstract
Soil organic matter is an integrated indicator of soil fertility. However, its stability within any particular soil type makes it hard to detect the effects of different farm practices on the continuous transformation of soil organic matter. Separation of soil organic matter into fractions according to their ability to resist microbiological decomposition enables assessment of the effects of crop rotations, continuous monocropping, and fertilization on the vitality of the soil.
