A Correlation-Based Approach for Predicting Humic Substance Bioactivity from Direct Compost Characterization by Ana Catarina Silva, Pedro Rocha, Patrícia Valderrama, Juan Antelo, Dulce Geraldo, Maria Fernanda Proença, Sarah Fiol, Fátima Bento

“…Strong correlations were found between compost oxidation state (<i>C_oxi</i>/<i>C</i>), cation exchange capacity (<i>CEC</i>), thermal stability, and the structural characteristics of humic substances-like (HS-L) fractions, suggesting that direct compost characterization can effectively predict humic substance reactivity and agronomic potential. The findings also align with a previously developed Compost Quality Index (CQI), reinforcing the functional role of humic substances in soil fertility and nutrient retention. …”
