The protocol successfully isolates both POM and MAOM fractions to analyze soil carbon dynamics.
By using sodium hexametaphosphate, the method disrupts microaggregates and facilitates size fractionation into sand and silt + clay.
These isolated fractions represent contrasting aspects of soil organic matter, capturing both dynamic and persistent soil carbon pools.
Understanding these fractions is crucial for insights into microbial processes and the long-term role of soil in climate regulation.
