Q. No.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.
