Differentiate between humification and mineralization.

Explanation

Humification. It is the process by which simplified detritus gets converted into dark coloured amorphous susbtance, the humus (huminc substnace) in the soil. It is relatively a rapid process than mineralization. Mineralization. It is release of organically bound nutrients into an inorganic for (i.e. minerals) available to plants. This slow process is perfomed by decomposers existing in soil and feeding on humus (Odurm and Barret, 2005).
