Estimating organic carbon in soils from Gulyantsi Municipality, Pleven District

Abstract

The aim of the present study is to evaluate soil organic carbon in Gulyantsi Municipality, Pleven District. The case study area of “Ulpia Eskus” Reserve was chosen for the research. The composition of soil organic substance of Arenosols + Fluvisols is distinguished by the use of a chemical analysis and the application of the Turin method. The results show a prevalence of humic acids over fulvic acids in the sampled soil profile. Keywords: soil organic carbon, soil horizons, excavations.
