Mineralization is synonymous with ultimate biodegradation or complete biodegradation. It describes the degradation of a compound to its mineral components, i.e. carbon dioxide and water. Mineralization is a biological process in which soil microorganisms transform elements found in organic substances to water-soluble inorganic states, while decomposition may be due to physical, chemical, or biological processes. Manure mineralization is a process where microbes digest and reduce the organic portion of the manure to inorganic materials. Inorganic materials released during this process are the essential plant nutrients, macronutrients and micronutrients, salts, and heavy metals. Mineralization is the process by which chemicals present in organic matter are decomposed or oxidized into easily available forms to plants. Transformation of organic molecules in soil is mainly driven by its microbiota such as fungi and bacteria along with earthworms. Mineralization is the conversion of a nutrient from the organic form to the inorganic form. The process occurs when organic materials, such as soil organic matter, manure, plant residue, or biosolids, are decomposed by soil microorganisms.
I agree with Dr Ahmed Hamdy Abdelmoghies that mineralization is the process by which chemicals present in organic matter are decomposed or oxidized into easily available forms to plants. Transformation of organic molecules in soil is mainly driven by its microbiota such as fungi and bacteria along with earthworms. Manure mineralization is a process where microbes digest and reduce the organic portion of the manure to inorganic materials. Inorganic materials released during this process are the essential plant nutrients macronutrients and micronutrients, salts, and heavy metals. Mineralization is synonymous with ultimate biodegradation or complete biodegradation. It describes the degradation of a compound to its mineral components, i.e. carbon dioxide and water. Mineralization is the process by which microbes decompose organic N from manure, organic matter and crop residues to ammonium. Because it is a biological process, rates of mineralization vary with soil temperature, moisture and the amount of oxygen in the soil. Mineralization is a biological process in which soil microorganisms transform elements found in organic substances to water-soluble inorganic states, while decomposition may be due to physical, chemical, or biological processes.
