Chapter 1 Humic Substances: Chemistry and Reactions
TL;DR: Humic substances are major organic constituents of soils and sediments and are widely distributed over Earth's surface, occurring in almost all terrestrial and aquatic environments as discussed by the authors, and Humic substances arise from the chemical and biological degradation of plant and animal residues and from synthetic activities of microorganisms.

Solid state NMR studies of fire-induced changes in the structure of humic substances
Gonzalo Almendros,Francisco Javier González-Vila,Francisco Martin,Rüdiger Fründ,H.-D. Lüdemann +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, CPMAS 13 C-NMR and resolutionenhanced IR spectroscopy was used to identify structural changes in humic acids and fulvic acids after being subjected to laboratory heating at 350°C.

Chemical and physical characteristics of humic and fulvic acids extracted from soils of the Mediterranean region
Yona Chen,N. Senesi,M. Schnitzer +2 more
TL;DR: The analytical characteristics of the humic and fulvic acids extracted from the Israeli and Italian soils were generally similar to those of humic materials originating from soils formed under widely differing geographic and pedologic conditions.

Differential Scanning Calorimetric Analysis of Composted Materials From Different Sources
TL;DR: Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was applied to the study of material composted from sawdust, used coffee, farmyard manure and the organic fraction of domestic solid waste.

Thermal Transformation of Soil Organic Matter by Natural Fires and Laboratory-Controlled Heatings
F. J. González-Vila,Galmendros +1 more
TL;DR: The results of a multi-approach analysis on the effects that wildfires exert on soil organic matter (SOM) properties are presented in this article, which includes wet chemical oxidation and thermal degradation by flash pyrolysis, as well as Fourier-transformed infrared (FT-IR) and solid-state 13C and 15N NMR spectroscopies.
