| description | This paper presents the results of the study and variability of organic
carbon content in soils formed in the Deliblato Sands, a Special Nature
Reserve (SNR). The sandy soils of Deliblato Sands are very sensitive to
degradation, while the land use system is regulated by law. Analyzes were
performed for soil layers 0-10 cm and 10-20 cm according to reference soil
groups and identified vegetation groups. The mean values of SOC content
(Soil Organic Carbon) (g/kg) are 23.13 (0-10 cm) and 11.20 (10-20 cm),
while the values for SOCD (Soil Organic Carbon Density) (g/m2) are 2.40
(0-10 cm) and 1.22 (10-20 cm). The total reserves of SOC in the soils of the
Deliblato Sands were estimated at 1.18×106 Mg in the upper layers (0-20 cm).
Analyzes of the spatial variability of SOC (g/kg) and SOCD (g/m2) were
carried out using GIS techniques in order to map the distribution of these
parameters. A high degree of spatial variability was determined in terms of
SOC content and density, both by reference soil groups and by vegetation
groups. The obtained results show that in the management process of SNR
Deliblato Sands, and therefore SOC reserves, attention should be focused on
the protection of autochthonous vegetation. |
