      How do you distinguish between mummification and mineralization?  

    Answer:

                      Humification is the process of decomposition of soil that leads to accumulation of adark- coloured amorphous substance called humus. Humus are highly resistant to microbial action and under goes decomposition at a very slow rate. Mineralization is the process by which the humus is further degraded by microbes and inorganic nutrients or minerals are released back into the substratum.
