    The document describes the process and calculations for determining soil carbon content. Soil samples were taken from 10 plots using a corer with a 3 cm diameter and 10.7 cm height. The samples were weighed and bulk density was calculated as weight divided by volume. Samples were then analyzed for organic matter content by depth interval. Soil carbon was calculated using the formula of bulk density x depth interval x % organic matter to determine soil carbon in Mg per hectare for each sample and depth.
