Organic matter in size fractions of soils of the semiarid Argentina. Effects of climate, soil texture and management

Soil organic matter contents (SOM) of soils of the Semiarid Pampas of Argentina (SAP), mostly Entic Haplustolls, increase with the amount of silt+clay, but it is still not known how soil texture affects its qualitative composition in interaction with climatic and management conditions. Because of th...

Description
Summary:Soil organic matter contents (SOM) of soils of the Semiarid Pampas of Argentina (SAP), mostly Entic Haplustolls, increase with the amount of silt+clay, but it is still not known how soil texture affects its qualitative composition in interaction with climatic and management conditions. Because of that the organic matter content of the following aggregate size fractions were determined:
