Abstract

Muck paddy soil is characteristic in having a large amount of soil organic matter. The writer already reported (1) the results of measuring the gases and NH₄-N as the endproduct of microbial activity. That experiment was conducted in the way that the air dried soil was flooded with water, incubated at 30°C, and gases and NH₄-N were then determined (1).
