Determination of the total organic carbon in the soil and biomass of the comunities of chimborazo y shobol IlinIlin in Ecuador

Abstract:

In the determination of the content of the total organic carbon in soil and biomass of the moors of the communities of Chimborazo, with 210 ha of moors whose location is 746667UTM-982540OUTM, and Shobol Llinllin, with 350 ha of moors, 75468OUTM9854678UTM, belonging to San Juan in Ecuador, 9 points of sampling were selected according to the variation, altitude and soil characteristics, divided for this study in three altitudinal thresholds, in the case of the moors of Chimborazo community among 3600 and 3900 MSL and among 3600 and 3950 MSL for Shobol Llinllin. Soil samples were taken at three different depths of 0-30 cm, 30-60 cm and 60-90 cm, and 4 types of samples of biomass were extracted: straw, root of straw, pad, and root of pad, they were all analyzed using the colorimetric method of WallKley-Black oxidation by potassium dichromate. With the diversity of variables taken into account, the …
