Abstract

Aims Soil inorganic carbon (SIC) and organic carbon (SOC) play an important role in the global carbon cycle. However, studying of SIC dynamics has been lacking. This study was aimed at evaluating the distribution of SIC and influencing factors in the wheat-maize cropland of North China Plain.

Methods We measured contents of SOC, SIC, water-soluble Ca2+and Mg2+of 120 soil samples, and applied various analytical methods to evaluate the spatial distribution of SIC and its relationship with other key parameters.

Results Mean SOC content decreased from 9.5 g C kg-1 in the 0-20 cm to 4.1g C kg-1 in 20-40 cm but SIC increased from 8.1 g C kg-1 (0-20 cm) to 12.1g C kg-1 (80-100 cm). Average SIC stock over 0-100 cm (16.5±4.7 kg C m-2) was more than twice of SOC stock (7.5±1.4 kg C m-2). In general, SIC stock was lower at the sites far away from the Yellow River.

Conclusions Our analysis showed a significantly positive correlation between SIC and SOC (R=0.74, P<0.001).This study implies that SIC accumulation might be enhanced by the increase of SOC and highlights the importance of SIC in carbon sequestration in arid and semi-arid regions.
