## Abstract Samples of eight soils were airβdried and stored in brownβpaper or in sealed polythene bags for periods up to 98 weeks. Portions of the fresh and reβwetted airβdry soils were incubated at 25Β° for 10β84 days. the soils were extracted before and after incubation and the increase in minera
In grass conservation systems, removal of moisture in the "eld is required to avoid e%uent production during storage. When high drying rates are required these can be achieved by a macerating process that increases the speci"c surface area of the plants, ruptures plant cell walls and releases intrac
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,
