organic matter is loaded with “active Al”  Charcoals are abundant up to ca. 9000 yrs BP.
Pyrolysis-GC/MS  A large fraction of the organic matter may be derived from black carbon  Early slash-and-burn agriculture around 6000 BP? Xistral mountains Pyrolysis-GC/MS and 13C NMR  Techniques are in close agreement  Peat organic matter can be studied by 13C in conjunction with a molecular mixing model (MMM) organic matter composition naphthalene benzonitrile PAHs tannins Campo lameiro campolameiro atlantic ranker soil evolution podzolisation is NOT driving soil formation
