19、ion of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committe

20、e. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance w

21、ith the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires appro

24、 components which exist in a complex and heterogeneous environment. Microorganisms in the soil are mainly responsible for cycling of some nutrients and thus play an essential role in the maintenance of soil fertility. One of the most important microbial processes in soil is the mineralization of nit

25、rogen contained in organic forms to ammonium (ammonification) and thereafter to nitrite and nitrate (nitrification). Clearly, any long-term interference with this process could influence soil fertility. ISO 2012 All rights reserved vBS EN ISO 14238:2013BS EN ISO 14238:2013Soil quality Biological met

26、hods Determination of nitrogen mineralization and nitrification in soils and the influence of chemicals on these processes1 ScopeThis International Standard specifies laboratory procedures for measuring the mineralization and nitrification of nitrogen by the soil microbiota.For investigations on the

27、 evaluation of soil quality or on effects of contamination, a procedure is given to measure the rates and extent of N-mineralization in soil or soils of known or unknown quality.For investigation of the potential toxicity of chemicals to N-mineralization in soils, a simple procedure is given which a

28、llows the impact of single chemicals to be assessed and provides a basis for comparison of the toxicities of different chemicals.2 Normative referencesThe following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

35、indicate 25 % and 50 % inhibition of N-mineralization, respectively.4 PrincipleThe rates or extent of N-mineralization in aerobic soils are determined by measuring the concentrations of ammonium, nitrite, and nitrate released during mineralization of nitrogen contained in the soil organic matter or

36、during mineralization of an added nitrogenous organic compound.The influence of chemicals on N-mineralization is determined by amending soil with a readily degradable source of organic nitrogen, and measuring the percentage inhibition of product formation in test portions treated with different quan

37、tities of a chemical as compared to an untreated control.5 Materials5.1 Soils5.1.1 Selection of soils5.1.1.1 Basic mineralization testFor basic tests used for comparing the N-mineralization capacities of different soils or for comparing N-mineralization in one soil collected at different times of th

38、e year, ensure that the choice of soil(s) is consistent with the purpose of the determination.5.1.1.2 Toxicity testingTo determine the influence of chemicals on N-mineralization, use a soil with low content (as a mass fraction) of organic carbon (0,5 % to 1,5 %) and low content of clay.NOTE Such soi

39、l represents a worst-case situation, since adsorption is minimum and availability of the chemical to the microbiota is maximum. For routine testing, soils with a pH(KCl) less than 5 are not satisfactory, as the rate of nitrification is likely to be too low to permit a valid assessment of the effects

40、 of the chemical on the process. Sandy loam soils and loamy sand soils are preferred.5.1.2 Collection, handling and storage of soilsFor all tests, the recommendations in ISO 10381-6 for collection, handling and storage of soil shall be followed.The following information shall be documented: date of

41、collection; date(s) used in experiments; storage conditions, including temperature, moisture content; length of storage.2 ISO 2012 All rights reservedBS EN ISO 14238:2013ISO 14238:2012(E)5.1.3 Characterization of soilsTo facilitate interpretation of data and for comparative purposes, the following c
