Abstract

This chapter combines the processes in plants photosynthesis, growth and differentiation with the processes of humus formation in the soil. Chloroplasts in leaves are responsible for phenolic products formation whereas soil micelles are the units, which could be considered as alumni-silicate matrix covered by humus envelope. The plant residues in the soil could participate in humus formation.
