"Humic" is a common misspelling or typo for: humid. |
|
Date "Humic" was first used in popular English literature: sometime before 1914. (references) |
|
Etymology:Humic \Hu"mic\, adjective. [Latin expression humus the earth, ground: compare to the French expression humique.]. (references) |

| Humic acid | A dark brown humic substance that is soluble in water only at pH values greater than 2; "the half-life of humic acid is measured in centuries". Source: Wordnet 3.0 Copyright © 2006 by Princeton University. All rights reserved. | ||
| Humic acid | Humic acid is a complex mixture of organic acids produced mostly by the decomposition of plant material, especially lignin. Humic acid is dark brown and is a major constituent of humus where it contributes to soil fertility and is a precursor of fossil fuels. It can also be found in peat, coal, and ocean water.

| Expressions | Domain | Definition | |
| Humic acid | Aerospace | 1: Dark-colored organic material extracted from soil by various reagents (e.g., dilute alkali) and that is precipitated by acid (pH 1 to 2). (references) | |
| 2: Usually refers to the mixture of ill-defined dark organic substances precipitated upon acidification of a dilute alkali extract of soil. Some workers use it to include only the alcohol-insoluable portion of the precipitate. The main constituent of humus, composed of proteins and lignins, dark brown to black in color.

| Humic acid | Geography | The dark organic material that can be extracted from soil with dilute alkali and other reagents and that is precipitated by acidification to pH 1 to 2. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Humic acid | Mining | 1: Black acidic organic matter extracted from soils, low-rank coals, and other decayed plant substances by alkalis. It is insoluble in acids and organic solvents. (references) | |
| 2: Organic acids of indefinite composition in naturally occurring leonardite lignite. The humic acids are the most valuable constituent. (references) | |||
| 3: The dark-colored organic material that can be extracted from soil with dilute alkali and other reagents and that is precipitated by acidification to pH 1 to 2. (references) | |||
| Humic acids | Aerospace | A mixture of various dark-colored organic substances precipitated by acidifying a dilute alkali extract from the soil. The term is used by some workers to designate only the alcohol-insoluble part of this precipitate. (references) | |
| Humic coals | Mining | A. A group of coals, including the ordinary bituminous varieties, that have been formed from accumulations of vegetable debris that have maintained their morphological organization with little decay. The majority of them are banded and have a tendency to develop jointing or cleat. Chemically, humic coals are characterized by hydrogen varying between 4% to 6% b. Coals in which the attritus may be composed predominately of transparent humic degradation matter c. Introduced in 1906 by H_ Potonie to describe coals, the original organic matter of which underwent change chiefly by humification; i.e, through the process of peat formation in the presence of oxygen. Most seams of coal consist principally of humic coal and the technological properties vary with their rank, with their petrographic composition, andwith the manner of distribution of mineral inclusions i.e, through the process of peat formation in the presence of oxygen. Most seams of coal consist principally of humic coal and the technological properties vary with their rank, with their petrographic composition, andwith the manner of distribution of mineral inclusions.

| Humic degradation matter | Mining | Finely comminuted degradation matter in coal, largely but not altogether derived from the woody tissues of plants, and like anthraxylon, largely derived from lignin. (references) | |
| Humic gley soil | Geography | Continually or intermittently moist soil with or without a peaty covering, but having a prominent dark. A horizon and gleyed horizon. Source: European Union. (references) | |
| Humic gley soil | Mining | Soil of the intrazonal order and hydromorphic suborder that includes Wisenboden and related soils, such as Half-Bog soils, which have a thin muck or peat O2 (Oi) horizon and an A1 (A) horizon. Developed in wet meadow and in forested swamps. (Not used in current U.S. system of soil taxonomy.). (references) | |
| Humic Gleysol | Aerospace | A great group of soils in the Gleysolic order. A dark-colored A (Ah or Ap) horizon more than 8 cm (3 inches) thick is underlain by mottled gray or brownish gleyed mineral material. It may have up to 40 cm (16 inches) of mixed peat (bulk density 0.1 or more) or up to 60 cm (24 inches) of fibric moss peat (bulk density less than 0.1) on the surface. This group includes soils formerly classified as Dark Gray Gleysolic and Meadow. (references) | |
| Humic layer | Aerospace | A layer of highly decomposed organic soil material containing little fiber. (references) | |
| Humic substances | Aerospace | Series of relatively high-molecular-weight, brown-to-black substances formed by secondary synthesis reactions. The term is generic in a sense that it describes the colored material or its fractions obtained on the basis of solubility characteristics, such as humid acid or fulvic acid. (references) | |
| Humic substances | Mining | A series of relatively high-molecular-weight, yellow to black colored organic substances formed by secondary synthesis reactions in soils. The term is used in a generic sense to describe the colored material or its fractions obtained on the basis of solubility characteristics. These materials are distinctive to soil environments in that they are dissimilar to the biopolymers of microorganisms and higher plants (including lignin). See also humid acid, fulvic acid, and humin. (references) | |
| Translucent humic degradation matter | Mining | Transparent humic matter consisting of irregular particles varying greatly in shape and size. Although rounded or ovoid particles are not rare, humic matter is mostly flattened in form and usually of frayed or tattered appearance. The particles are of the same deep red color as the anthraxylon strips, becoming lighter in thinner sections. Syn:THDM. (references) | |
