[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
