Organic carbon distribution in alluvial soils according to different flood risk zones

Impacts of Floods on Organic Carbon Concentrations in Alluvial Soils along Hydrological Gradients Using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM)

This study examines the spatial distribution of the organic carbon found in alluvial soils affected by successive floods. In flood zones, very little is known of the processes associated with the development of soils subjected to frequent flooding, in particular with respect to the accumulation of litter and organic carbon concentrations. The aim of this study is to better understand the distri...

spatial distribution of soil organic matter in surface soils of three climatic zones in isfahan province

organic matter and its related soil properties are among the most important indicators of soil quality. despite the importance of soil organic carbon, no comprehensive study has been done on organic carbon changes in soils of the isfahan province. the objective of this research was to investigate factors affecting soil organic carbon in soils of this province. a total of 248 surface soil sample...

Organic Carbon in Soils of the World

The loss of organic matter from soil is mainly the result of the clearing of forests for grassland or cropland. On the basis of the assumptions outlined here, the annual loss of organic carbon from the world's soils is between 2.5 x 1015g and 7.4 x 1015g, with 4.6 x 1015g being considered a realistic estimate. These amounts are 0.2, 0.5 and 0.3 per cent of the toial organic carbon (1477x 1015g)...
