Abstract
The sizes of soil organic matter fractions were estimated. The ''old'' humus fraction was estimated to 23.6 t ha(-1) C. The ''active'' and ''young'' humus fractions accounted for 20-61% of the soil organic carbon depending on the level of fertilization and the supply of fresh organic matter. It was stated that those fractions are of great importance for the capacity of the soil to mineralize nitrogen.
