Soil Remediation

Soil Remediation

Soil Organic Matter (SOM) Decomposition: Microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and archaea, break down complex organic compounds present in the soil, such as dead plant material and animal remains.

Mineralization: Microbes convert organic matter into inorganic forms, such as ammonium (NH₄⁺), through processes like ammonification. This step releases nutrients from organic matter into the soil.
