    Abstract : The determination of what has been termed an "active fraction" of soil organic matter (SOM) and the effect of management on the size and turnover of this fraction are the leading themes in the present thesis. The techniques employed to study the amount and turnover of this fraction include: long-term mineralization-incubations for determination of potentially mineralizable carbon (Co) and nitrogen (No), fumigation-incubation for determination of microbial biomass-C and N, and istotope techniques using 13C and 15N for determination of the dynamics of soil C and N.
