Influence of trees and associated variables on soil organic carbon: a review

Abstract The level of soil organic carbon (SOC) fluctuates in different types forest stands: this variation can be attributed to differences tree species, and the variables associated with soil, climate, topographical features. present review evaluates SOC stands determine factors responsible for observed variation. Mixed have highest amount SOC, while coniferous (both deciduous-coniferous evergreen-coniferous) greater concentrations than deciduous (broadleaved) evergreen stands. There was a significant negative correlation between mean annual temperature (MAT) sand composition, all In contrast, silt fraction has positive Variation under landscapes due MAT, apart from type forests.
