Assessment of Soil Organic Matter Determination Techniques in Tropical Soils: Correlation Among Four Methods as Indicators of Plant Growth Potential
Soil organic matter (SOM) is a key indicator of soil fertility, yet variability among analytical methods limits its reliable interpretation, particularly in tropical soils. This study evaluated four SOM determination methods—Walkley–Black (WB), loss on ignition (LOI), colorimetric (COL), and hydrogen peroxide (HP)—and examined their relationships w...
