Extract

The detailed examination of humus soils of various kinds is becoming of increasing importance in view of the schemes now on foot for the reclamation of much heath and moor land. One of the most important things to establish has seemed to the authors to be the amount of nitrogen existing in the form of ammonia or of ammonium compounds, as it is possible that a knowledge of this figure might form a basis for a more scientific classification of soil organic matter than at present exists.
