Abstract

Water-soluble phenolic compounds were measured in fresh and decomposed animal manures. Following manure addition to soil, less than 50% of the water-soluble phenolic compounds were recovered within 1 h. The concentration of phenolic compounds decreased more slowly with decreasing temperatures to 4 °C and increasing soil moisture content during a 14-d incubation. The results suggest that water-soluble phenolic compounds were both adsorbed onto soil particles and decomposed by microorganisms. Key words: Animal manure, phenolic compounds, compost
