Step 4: Determination of Soil Organic Carbon Stock

The soil organic carbon (“SOC”) stock at the sampled depth (0 – 30 cm):

• SOCS=SOC concentration*BD*SD

SOCS: Soil Organic Carbon Ctock (kg C/tree)

SOC: Soil Organic Carbon

BD: Bulk Density

SD: Soil Depth (30 cm)

From the scientific articles SOCS= [] kg/m2/year

[] kg C/m2/year *10.000 m2/ha * 1ha/ [] trees = [] kg C/tree/year
