Thiago Cardoso Silva; Emmanoella Costa Guaraná Araujo; Carlos Roberto Sanquetta; et al. Revista em Agronegócio e Meio Ambiente 2021. doi:10.17765/2176-9168.2021v14supl.2.e8400
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Method / resource The colorimetric method underestimated organic carbon in tropical wood.
- Observation The authors describe the volumetric method as obsolete.
- Recommendation Organic matter conversion requires material-specific conversion factors.
- Method / resource Dry combustion is closest to the standard and generates less waste.
- Recommendation The authors recommend dry combustion as most suitable for carbon determination in wood.
