Molecular properties of soil humic acid (HA) can play an important role in the mechanisms regulating plant nutrient availability. This study explores how the structure of HA is altered by long-term treatment with different forms of swine manure and how these changes may influence nutrient availability. Liquid swine manure (LSM), solid swine manure (SSM), and swine manure compost (SMC) were applied to a calcareous soil over 17 years in a long-term soil fertility study. HA was extracted from site soil samples and analyzed using fluorescence spectroscopic techniques, including a Cu
