Abstract

It has been found that soil organic carbon (SOC) is very easily oxidized in the oven during analysis through C/N analyzer. There is no literatures on the relative effects of CaCO3 in the determination of total C in soils. To avoid, effects, if any, we have developed separate methods for calcareous and non-calcareous soils. It is hoped that, with a prior knowledge of soil-site, a suitable method can be chosen for both these types of soils to determine C and N in soils
