ORGANIC matter originating from the Bh horizon of a podzol soil is of interest for two reasons. First, because of the presence of a large number of functional groups it reacts readily with
metals, metallic oxides and possibly clays and can therefore serve as a model for metallo-organic reactions in soils. Secondly, so far as organic chemists are concerned, its low molecular
weight makes it a suitable starting material for the investigation of the chemical structure of soil humic acids.
