I would compare the calcination method with the method of Anne (1945), to see which gives the best estimate of the rate of organic matter in the soil. Is it 375°C for 16H, or 450 °C for 4 hours ? The soil is calcareous.
Must i understand that you prefer the method of combustion with the bichromate (K2CR2 O7) in an acid medium that the method of calcination (the loss on fire) ?
