Soil organic matter (SOM) and soil organic carbon (SOC) constitute usually a small portion
of soil, but they are one of the most important components of ecosystems. Bulk density (dB or …

High expectations to harness agricultural soils as sinks for atmospheric carbon (C)
necessitate methods for verifying changes in soil organic C (SOC) stocks and improving the …

Mt. Gongga area in southwest China was impacted by Hg emissions from industrial activities
and coal combustion, and annual means of atmospheric TGM and PHg concentrations at a …

Extensive areas of arable land have been abandoned in many countries around the world,
especially in the Mediterranean region. The overall goal of this study is to assess the effects …

The assessment of soil organic carbon stock (SOCS) in degraded and rehabilitated soils in
steppelands and rangelands of North Africa is crucial for the adoption of adequate …

El método de pérdida de peso por ignición (Loss On Ignition-LOI) se utiliza para estimar la
materia orgánica del suelo (MOS) pero tiene sus ventajas y limitaciones, frente a otros …

We test the applicability of two different methods for quantifying carbon (C) stocks in five
tropical peat sites in Sumatra, Indonesia; two in an intact peat swamp forest, one in a logged …

ABSTRACT The Walkley-Black (WB) method has been widely used for soil organic carbon
(SOC) determination with little attention on its reliability and effectiveness compared to the …

Soil organic carbon (OC) content is often estimated by determining organic matter (OM)
content via mass loss on ignition (LOI) and assuming that there are 580 g OC kg− 1 OM. We …

Sažetak The determination of the amount of residual carbon in biomass ash is important not
only for the assessment of the efficiency of biomass fuel combustion but also as one of the …
