Soil Carbon Stock and Pools in Acid Sulphate Soils of Kerala

Characterization of soil organic carbon pools by acid hydrolysis

Chemically stable fractions of the soil organic carbon (SOC) contribute to the soil C sequestration andmay have an important role for the global C budget. Soil organic carbon characterization was studied using acid hydrolysis methodswith 1M and 6MHCl and hot-water extraction in two coastal plain soils collected from different landscape positions. The residues after the chemical treatments were ...

Soil Organic Carbon Pools and Stocks in Permafrost-Affected Soils on the Tibetan Plateau

The Tibetan Plateau reacts particularly sensitively to possible effects of climate change. Approximately two thirds of the total area is affected by permafrost. To get a better understanding of the role of permafrost on soil organic carbon pools and stocks, investigations were carried out including both discontinuous (site Huashixia, HUA) and continuous permafrost (site Wudaoliang, WUD). Three ...

Estimation of Soil Carbon Stock in Taiwan Arable Soils by Using Legacy Database and Digital Soil Mapping

The Effect of Land use and Soil Erosion on Soil Organic Carbon and Nitrogen Stock

  Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a principal component in soil quality assessment. Knowledge of SOC and total nitrogen (TN) stocks are important keys to understand the role of SOC in the global carbon cycle and, as a result, in the mitigation of global greenhouse effects. SOC and TN stocks are functions of the SOC concentration and the bulk density of the soil that are prone to changes, influe...
