SULFATE IN SOIL HORACE J. HARPER AND BRYAN BOATMAN* Although nitrification has been studied more extensively than any other biological activity occurring in soils, there seems to be little agreement regarding the methods of investigation and the value of the data obtained. This is probably due to the wide variation in the physical and chemical properties of soils in various regions, and in the microbiological activities occurring in them. It is entirely possible, however, that data which appear to disagree might not do so if sufficient information had been given by the various investigators on the physical and chemical properties of the soils studied and on the crop or cropping system to which the soils had been subjected, all of which have a direct bearing on the nitrification process.
