Pig slurry fertilization changes the pyrolytic signature of humic substances in calcareous soil

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of progressive pig slurry (PS) rates, applied over a 12-year period, on the molecular composition of soil organic matter in a calcareous soil. Annual organic matter rates of PS ranged from 1.0 to 4.8 Mg ha−1. Humic acids (HAs) were extracted from fie...
