摘要
The relevance of organosulfur formation and sulfate adsorption as S retention mechanisms in forest soils based upon the sulfur status of samples collected by horizon was investigated. Several forests of varying elevation, vegetation, location, and soil type were considered. Organic S was found to constitute over 78% of total S in the uppermost mineral (0-20cm; A,E) horizons. Because organic S was the dominant form of S, irrespective of horizon, the data suggest that organosulfur formation, not sulfate adsorption, may represent the primary mechanism for S retention in forest soil. -from Authors
