✦ Synopsis

According to the chemical hypothesis the decomposition of organic matter in soil is affected by the availability of the protons in the soil environment. Drying of a soil increases the proton supply trom 'residual water' and thus increases the mineralization oi soil organic matter. On the other hand, drying of a fresh plant material saves the organic colloids from protons and thus decreases their subsequent mineralization in soil.
