“…Analysis of the organic carbon content in the surface layer (0-20 cm) in the most prevalent soils of forest ecosystems in central Serbia: eutric Ranker, eutric Cambisol, and dystric Cambisol has shown that the mean value of organic carbon for all the tested soils amounts to 5.77 kg m -2 (Kadović et al, 2012).…”

Correlation between soil organic carbon (SOC) and land use and soil type were investigated in the soils of the Republic of Serbia. The database included a total of 1,140 soil profiles. To establish the correlation between organic carbon content and soil type, a soil map of Serbia was adapted to the WRB classification and divided into 15,437 polygons (map units). The SOC stock values were calculated for each reference soil group based on mean values of SOC at 0-30 and 0-100 cm and their areas. The largest SOC stocks for the soil layers 0-30 cm were found in Cambisol 194.76 x 1012 g and Leptosol 186.43 x 1012 g and for the soil layers 0-100 cm in Cambisol 274.87 x 1012 g and Chernozem 230.43 x 1012 g. Using the Corine Land Cover (CLC) database, the major categories of land use were defined. Based on the obtained mean values of organic carbon content for the soil layers 0-30 and 0-100 cm and the areas indicated by Corine Land Cover categories of land use, the organic carbon stocks in agricultural soil, forest soil, semi-natural areas, and artificial areas were calculated. The correlation of organic carbon stocks and the different land use categories, soil reference group, and soil depth was studied for reference groups that occupy the major part of central Serbia, such as Cambisol (taking up 37.76% of the territory) and Leptosol (22.22% of the territory), and have a sufficient number of sites that were required for this type of analysis.

“…In Serbia, Kadovič et al (2012) studied the regression dependence between carbon content and soil depth and found a modest correlation for dystric brown soils (25 profiles) and a strong correlation for eutric brown soils (31 profiles) and for eutric rankers (12 profiles).…”

The organic carbon stock (SOC) (t/ha) was calculated in different approaches in order to enhance the differences among methods and their utility regarding specific studies. Using data obtained in Romania (2000-2012) from 4,500 profiles and 9,523 soil horizons, the organic carbon stock was calculated for the main forest soils (18 types) using three different methods: 1) on pedogenetical horizons, by soil bulk density and depth class/horizon thickness; 2) by soil type and standard depths; 3) using regression equations between the quantity of organic C and harvesting depths. Even though the same data were used, the differences between the values of C stock obtained from the three methods were relatively high. The first method led to an overvaluation of the C stock. The differences between methods 1 and 2 were high (and reached 33% for andosol), while the differences between methods 2 and 3 were smaller (a maximum of 23% for rendzic leptosol). The differences between methods 2 and 3 were significantly lower especially for andosol, arenosol and vertisol. A thorough analysis of all three methods concluded that the best method to evaluate the organic C stock was to distribute the obtained values on the following standard depths: 0 - 10 cm; 10 - 20 cm; 20 - 40 cm; > 40 cm. For each soil type, a correlation between the quantity of organic C and the sample harvesting depth was also established. These correlations were significant for all types of soil; however, lower correlation coefficients were registered for rendzic leptosol, haplic podzol and fluvisol.
