Popis: In Tunisia, the lowest soil organic carbon stocks are attributed to arid soils. This study was conducted to assess and to quantify soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and pools under oases agrosystems in arid regions of Tunisia. Soil samples were collected from 0- to 5-cm and from 0- to 30-cm layer depth from two principal types of soils (Lithosols and Solonchaks) under three oases. Total SOC, particulate organic carbon (POC) and SOC
