	Loss on ignition is an experiment conducted in order to learn how much of a soil sample is composed of [[Organic Matter\|organic matter]]. [[Organic matter]] in this case can be water or carbonate minerals [4], among other things. After the ignition phase of the test, the measured mass should provide an accurate estimate of how much [[Organic Matter\|organic matter]] was lost during the ignition, leaving solely the compositional materials of the [[soil]] (i.e. [[sand]], [[gravel]]). The data collected from these experiments can be used to develop soil profiles for the areas the samples are collected from. This can be useful for [[agriculture]], development, or environmental protection and rehabilitation strategies.

	In comparison to other tests done to determine the [[Organic Matter\|organic matter]] content of soil samples, the loss on ignition test is relatively simple and inexpensive. There is no need for the use of chemicals or advanced equipment - one just needs access to a muffle furnace. Despite these positives, the loss on ignition method of testing for organic matter does have some limitations. One must be careful to perform the experiment at the correct temperature, or there will be risk of losing certain volatile salts, structural water and inorganic carbon [1], which can skew the results. In addition, depending on what type of sample one is testing, there must be acknowledgment that loss on ignition testing being used to estimate unburned carbon in combustion residues does not yield accurately data [5].
