The organic matter is oxidized or converted into substances containing more oxygen than in the original form.
He wished that the nitrogen had been determined by the chemist, even though he knew the organic matter and the nitrogen must be very low in the poor soils, but nowhere was any such record to be found in the bulletin.
Like the raw rock phosphate, the slag gives the best results only when used in connection with plenty of decaying organic matter.
The organic world appears to be in repose, because natural influences have reached an equilibrium.
Passing from inorganic to organic forms, our author remarks that their permanence is altogether dependent 'on the invariability of the material conditions under which they live.
The condensation of carbon from the air and its inclusion in the strata constitute the chief epoch in the organic life of the earth giving a possibility for the appearance of the hot-blooded and more intellectual animal tribes.
To this doctrine of the control of physical agencies over organic forms I acknowledge no exceptions, not even in the case of man.
You hear a good deal about the "missing links," and it is an accepted fact that we, perhaps, do not know a tithe of the organic remains that formerly enjoyed life.

The chief distinguishing mark of land--that of being fixed in amount--separates it from other things only in a dynamic state and because of the action of the forces which produce organic changes.
This would have been brought about by suppressing at that date the forces which cause organic change and by giving to competition a perfectly unobstructed field.
The economic action of a society which is undergoing no organic changes is the subject of Social Economic Statics, while such changes with their causes and effects constitute the subject of the science of Social Economic Dynamics.
The myxomycetes may be regarded as a section of the organic world in which the forces of heredity are at a maximum whatever those forces may be.
It needs no cell-walls of cellulose, no more than do the dividing cells of a lily-endosperm; both are nourished by organic food and resort to walls only as conditions change.
In it, as was intimated at the outset, are all the chief elements of organic influence.
