Abstract
Changes in the molecular composition of ester-linked aliphatic compounds with depth in an acid andic forest soil are
studied. Thermally assisted hydrolysis and methylation (THM) using tetramethylammonium hydroxide in combination with gas
chromatography/mass spectrometry revealed a dominance of cutin over suberin-derived THM products in the top 5 cm. From 5
to 20 cm,
