Effect of cropland management and slope position on soil organic carbon pool at the North Appalachian Experimental Watersheds

Abstract

Soil organic matter is strongly related to soil type, landscape morphology, and soil and crop management practices. Therefore, long-term (15–36-years) effects of six cropland management systems on soil organic carbon (SOC) pool in 0–30 cm depth were studied for the period of 1939–1999 at the North Appalachian ExperimentalWatersheds (
