What Does THDM Stand For?

THDM stands for Translucent Humic Degradation Matter

THDM, or Translucent Humic Degradation Matter, refers to the semi-transparent organic material resulting from the breakdown of humic substances in soil and aquatic environments. This compound plays a crucial role in soil fertility and ecosystem health, as it enhances nutrient availability, facilitates water retention, and supports microbial activity. THDM is significant in environmental research, particularly in studies related to soil organic matter decomposition, carbon cycling, and the impact of pollutants on ecological systems.
