Abstract

Provedeno je istraživanje utjecaja predtretmana spaljivanjem organske tvari tla (OT) na
rezultate analize mehaničkog sastava tla (MST). U tu svrhu, određen je MST u 20 uzoraka
slabo humoznih tala, i to sa i bez prethodnog spaljivanja OT 30% vodikovim peroksidom. Za
disperziju uzoraka tla na mehaničke elemente, korištena je otopina natrijevog
heksametafosfata i natrijevog karbonata. Statističkom obradom rezultata, utvrđeno je da
postoje značajne razlike u rezultatima analize MST, obzirom na primjenu/izostanak
uklanjanja OT. Međutim, te su razlike u apsolutnom smislu bile male te u pravilu nisu
utjecale na određivanje teksturne klase tla. Stoga, izostavljanje uklanjanja OT iz uzoraka
slabo humoznih tala može biti opravdano ako se ne zahtijeva visoka preciznost analize MST,
nego samo pouzdano određivanje teksturalne klase tla.

Abstract (english)

The effect of soil organic matter (SOM) removal on the results of soil particle size
distribution (PSD) analysis was investigated. Soil PSD was determined in 20 samples
featuring low SOM content, with and without prior removal of SOM with 30% hydrogen
peroxide. For the dispersion of soil samples, solution of sodium hexametaphosphate and
sodium carbonate was used. After statistically processing the results, it was found that there
were significant differences in the results of the PSD analysis, given the application/absence
of SOM removal pre-treatment. However, these differences were small in absolute terms and
generally did not affect the determination of the soil textural class. Thus, omitting SOM
removal in samples with low SOM content may be justified, if it is not the high precision of
PSD analysis that is required, but only the reliable determination of soil textural class.
