Properties and composition of 25 soil samples (0.8-51% organic C) were determined by morphology, wet chemistry, CPMAS-13C-NMR spectroscopy and pyrolysis-field ionization mass spectrometry. The recovery rate of organic carbon was 102% (+ 15%). The correlation between the litter compound:humic compound ratio and humification grade, estimated by morphological observation, was strong (rsuperscript 2 = 0.502***).
