Sources and relationships of inorganic carbon and organic carbon in arable soils of the west Loess Plateau

There is evidence of high levels of soil inorganic carbon (SIC) in low- to mid-fertility loess soils of north China. However, little is known about the dynamics of SIC fractions and their relationship with soil organic carbon (SOC) in cropland. Here, we hypothesize that more pedogenic carbonate (PIC...
