Mineralisation differs from leaching as in former
| 1. | Humus is degraded by microbes to release inorganic nutrients whereas in later water soluble inorganic nutrients go down into the soil horizon. |
| 2. | Detritus is broken down whereas in later humus is degraded |
| 3. | Water soluble inorganic nutrients go down in soil and in later detritus is degraded by detrivores |
| 4. | Humus becomes colloidal and in later humus becomes detritus. |
