Intensive Cl cycling in soils

28 March 2022, 10:56

This study reveal intensive Cl cycling between organic and inorganic forms in forest humus layers, while long-term Clorg accumulation seems more linked with overall deep soil organic carbon stabilization. Thus, humus types and fac-tors affecting soil carbon storage could be used as indicators of potential Clorg formation and accumulation in soils.
