Soil organic carbon stocks in relation to the altitude in Serbia

The research was conducted to determine the soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks in relation to the altitude in Serbia. The database included a total of 1,140 soil profiles. SOC were investigated at different the altitudes (0-200 m, 200-500 m, 500-1,000 m, 1,000 - 2.000 m) and at two soil depths (0-30 c...
