Carbon sequestration potential of tea garden soil in northwest Zhejiang and its accumulation characteristic on different fractions of organic carbon by KONG Zhangliang

“…Samples from nine tea gardens were divided into three groups (quaternary red clay, yellowred soil and yellowish red soil), each group corresponding to three tea plantation ages (5-10 years,15-20 years, and &gt; 30 years). The contents of total organic carbon, light-fraction organic carbon, particulate organic carbon, microbial biomass carbon and water soluble organic carbon in the soil samples were analyzed, and compared with those local upland soils with similar utilization time.The results showed that different fractions of organic carbon in the tea garden soils had surface accumulation pattern, and the proportion of the light-fraction and particulate organic carbons in the total organic carbon decreased faster with depth than the content of total organic carbon itself. …”
