Inhaltsangabe

Humic substances, the remarkable brown biomaterials in animals, coals, plants, sediments, soils and waters, are crucial components of the carbon cycle and other life processes. Thus greater knowledge and understanding of these versatile materials is of great importance to the productivity, health and safety of the world's ecosystems, humans, land and water. Presenting the best and most recent research in this important area, this book focuses on the molecular and chemical aspects of humic substances, with sophisticated analytical, chemical and physical techniques providing vital information. Areas covered include spectroscopy, modelling, mobility, properties and analysis of humic substances. Humic Substances: Structures, Models and Functions will be welcomed by researchers and professionals in academia, industry and government agencies worldwide, particularly where the science of humic substances finds applications, such as environmental remediation and sustainable agriculture.

CHAPTER 1

AN ORGANIC MATTER TRAIL: POLYSACCHARIDES TO WASTE MANAGEMENT TO NITROGEN/CARBON TO HUMIC SUBSTANCES

1 INTRODUCTION

A farm boy from Princeton, MA went to the University of Massachusetts to study chemistry and learn how to make dynamite. After 4 years with a chemistry major and agronomy minor he proceeded to Cornell University to become a soil biochemist. This paper represents a summary of the research and experiences initiated in 1952 under the guidance and direction of Professor Jeffrey Earl Dawson, who started me on the way along the Organic Matter Trail. Jeff was an outstanding teacher and researcher who thought thermodynamically and later became a true friend and colleague. His life and career were cut short due to health complications, and he passed away at age 49. This paper is dedicated to his memory. Along with the highlights of research on organic matter, many references will be made to the people, colleagues and friends who influenced the Trail throughout the years.

2 AN ORGANIC MATTER TRAIL

The Organic Matter Trail started for the author in the Organic Soils Laboratory of the Department of Agronomy at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY in June 1952. After M.S. and Ph.D. degrees were completed, the trail led to Beltsville, MD in October 1956 with the Soil and Water Conservation Research Division (SWCRD) of USDA-ARS. Work on soil and rhizobial polysaccharides was carried out to study aggregate stabilization. After 5 years, a transfer of the organic matter/soil structure project to the Cornbelt Branch of the SWCRD in the Department of Soil Science at the University of Minnesota was completed in May 1961. In August, a visiting scientist arrived from Australia to spend a year investigating organic matter and soil crumbs. This work continued with students and other support for 10 years. When funding for basic research became difficult to justify, a call was issued for more practical and field-oriented projects....
