| Abstract: | In the previous reports1)2), we published the significant relationship between methoxyl content and other properties of humus. In order to prove that methoxyl content decreased with the progress of humification and that this amount might be used as an index of the degree of humification, we investigated the deformation of humic acid by acid treatment. |
