The Effect of Forest Road Construction on Soil Organic Carbon Stock in Mountainous Catchment in Northern Iran
The main objective of this study was to investigate the effect of forest road construction on the Soil Organic Carbon Stock (SOCS) in Ziarat Catchment. Therefore, soil samples were collected from five land use types including road construction, cultivated area, channel bank, pasture and forest land and soil organic carbon concentration and bulk density were measured in the samples and SOCS were...
متن کاملDynamics of Soil Organic Carbon and Microbial Biomass Carbon in Relation to Water Erosion and Tillage Erosion
Dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) are associated with soil erosion, yet there is a shortage of research concerning the relationship between soil erosion, SOC, and especially microbial biomass carbon (MBC). In this paper, we selected two typical slope landscapes including gentle and steep slopes from the Sichuan Basin, China, and used the (137)Cs technique to determine the effects of water e...
متن کاملField Heterogeneity of Soil Organic Carbon and Relationships to Soil Properties and Terrain Attributes
Our objectives were to: (1) characterize SOC (0 to 1.53-m) within a 37-ha field typical of the Palouse region in eastern Washington; and (2) assess correlations and how much SOC variance could be accounted for by terrain and soil variables. A systematic, non-aligned grid of 177 georeferenced sample locations was established at the Washington State University Cook Agronomy Farm (CAF) near Pullma...
متن کاملChanges in soil organic carbon induced by tillage and water erosion on a steep cultivated hillslope in the Chinese Loess Plateau from 1898–1954 and 1954–1998
[1] The fate of soil organic carbon (SOC) transported and redistributed by erosion over steep agricultural landscapes is uncertain. The effect of topography, slope, and slope position on SOC redistribution must be considered. Our objectives were to (1) determine the spatial patterns of both tillage and water erosion-induced SOC redistribution, (2) evaluate the compensating effects of tillage-in...
متن کاملThe 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...
