Pour se développer, les plantes ont besoin d'eau et d'éléments minéraux, notamment d'azote. Mais la majeure partie de cet azote n'est pas directement consommable par les végétaux. Cette matière organique doit auparavant être transformée par les organismes vivants du sol, d'où la notion de fonctionnement biologique des sols. Cette fonction est remplie par une diversité d'organismes dont les plus actifs sont les bactéries, les champignons et les actinomycètes. Comme pour tous les organismes vivants, leurs efficacité dépend très étroitement de la quantité de matière organique dont ils se nourrissent et de la qualité de l'environnement, ici le sol, dans lequel ils travaillent (humidité, aération etc...). Le «rendement biologique» d'un sol peut être amélioré par des apports de matière organique, des périodes de jachère et un travail du sol adapté. 2, record 4, French, - rendement%20biologique

Carbon Preference Index(CPI). Generally the ratio of abundance of odd over even carbon number paraffins, specifically calculated over the C24-C34 range. Hydrocarbons derived predominantly from terrestrial sources and/or at low maturity exhibit a predominance of odd-numbered alkanes(resulting in a high CPI) ;this feature disappears with increasing maturation level(CPI approaches 1. 0). 5, record 5, English, - carbon%20preference%20index

... case studies show that in ancient detrital sediment the predominance of the original odd n-alkanes of high molecular weight is preserved mainly in relatively shallow shales and silts, where degradation of kerogen has not yet started... With increasing maturity, and odd-even preference(also known as CPI : carbon preference index) of about 5 : 1 in shallow detrital material is reduced to around unity in the zone of oil formation, as a result of thermal degradation and the introduction of new alkanes, which dilutes the original odd-even predominance. 3, record 5, English, - carbon%20preference%20index
