| Page Count: | 18 |
| ICS Code (Biological properties of soils): | 13.080.30 |
scope:
This International Standard specifies a rapid method for the determination of the potential rate of ammonium oxidation and inhibition of nitrification in soils. This method is suitable for all soils containing a population of nitrifying microorganisms. It can be used as a rapid screening test for monitoring soil quality and quality of wastes, and is suitable for testing the effects of cultivation methods, chemical substances, extracts of biolsolids and pollution in soils.
