Importance of Organic Matter in Soils
Physical- Improves aggregation (glue)- Improves water holding capacity (surface area)
Chemical- Increases nutrient availability (N cycling, P and
micronutrient solubility)- Increases CEC (200 cmolc kg-1)- Buffers the soil against pH changes
Biological- Increases microbial diversity- Assists in pathogen suppression

Manganese
A mineral in basalt - MnO2, Mn2O3, Mn3O4Exists as Mn2+, Mn3+, Mn4+
Mn2+ is an essential plant nutrient, but at high concentrations it becomes toxicMn2+ concentration depends on:• Soil pH - high Mn in acid soils • O2 availability - Mn solubility increases in flooded
soils• organic matter - Mn solubility increases with OM
