Nitrogen fixation, denitrification, soil weathering, phosphate fixation, clay mineral degradation, and potassium and transition metal fixation are problems for which the reaction rates are usually as, or more, important than equilibrium. Most soil chemical applications of kinetics have been in soil microbiology and soil biochemistry, where the lack of equilibrium is more obvious. The use of kinetics in inorganic soil chemistry will undoubtedly broaden in the future. It can even be argued that kinetics is basic to thermodynamics, because equilibrium is the condition where opposing reaction rates are equal.
