[10 pts] The figure shows a soil profile with 18 cm (depth) and two horizons.

Horizon A is 6 cm deep and has 3% of carbon per mass of soil. 

Horizon B is 12 cm deep and has 1% of carbon per mass of soil. 

The bulk density of the soil is equal to 1.6 g/cm3.

Calculate the total soil carbon stock to 18 cm per area (in ton C/ha). 

Equations and conversion factors:

Density = Mass / Volume

Stock per Area = Mass / Area

1 ton = 1,000,000 g = 106 g

1 ha = 10,000 m2 = 100,000,000 cm2 = 108 cm2
