abstract:
The objective of the study was to adapt the humification number as an index of the state of secondary transformation of organic soils in comparison to the water holding capacity index, W1. The study was performed on 14 muck formations, characterized by different surface charge and surface area values. The relationship between W1 and the humification number Hz was found. The results obtained indicate that simultaneous application of both indexes provides a better characterisation of the state of secondary transformation of organic soils.
