The researchers compared two types of soils in the Tambov region to see how organic matter and soil structure differed. They found that the meadow-chernozem soil had more humus and humic acids due to extra moisture and post-harvest residues. This soil also had higher levels of easily degradable organic matter and better aggregate and microaggregate states compared to leached chernozem soil. Overall, the meadow-chernozem soil had more favorable indicators of organic matter and soil structure.
