Abstract

In this paper, the researches on the estimation of cultivgated soil organic carbon storage and its variation trend were conducted in Shayang County, a typical agricultural county in Jianghan Plain in China. The results showed that the order of soil organic carbon density (SOCD) was paddy soil > moisture soil > yellow brown soil, and the mean values were 4.46, 3.12 and 2.55 kg/m2, respectively. No matter which soil type, the organic carbon content of soil decreased gradually from the surface to the deep soil in the form of exponential function. By analyzing and processing the organic carbon data from 2001 to 2018, the average SOCD in the topsoil increased from 3.69 to 4.25 kg/m2, with an increase of 15.18%.
