Characterization of Organic Carbon Fractions in a Southwestern Nigerian Soil: an Acid Hydrolysis Approach

S. J. Akinsete^*, O. F. Adebayoa, J. I. Uponib

Soil organic carbon characterization using acid hydrolysis is commonly performed at high temperatures but rarely at room temperature. This study used acid hydrolysis at 95 ºC and 25 ºC to quantify recalcitrant (non-hydrolyzable carbon, NHC) and labile C fractions of three depths in a planted fallow (Mucuna jaspedea) soil. Across depths, SOC fractio...
