Fluorescence spectroscopy: A sensitive tool for identifying land-use and climatic region effects on the characteristics of water-extractable soil organic matter

Water-extractable organic matter (WEOM) is an indicator of active and labile pools of soil organic matter (SOM).Land-use is expected to have a major effect on SOM, yet PLATINUM 100% GLUTAMINE the effects of different land-uses on WEOM are not well understood.Reported trends in the changes in water-extractable organic C (WEOC) concentrations followi
