With incubation experiment, this paper studied the decomposition rate of organic carbon in black soil, fluvo-aquic soil, and red soil. It was shown that these three soil types had significantly different decomposition rate constant of organic carbon (P0.05 ), with the corresponding value being 2.2 x 10(-4) x d(-1), 6.0 x 10(-4) x d(-1), and 3.4 x 10(-4) x d(-1), respectively. The decomposition rate constant had a significant correlation with soil pH, which was increased greatly when the soil pH was5.5 or8.0, and a significant negative correlation with the contents of soil clay and silt, indicating that soil clay and silt content was one of the dominant factors affecting the decomposition rate of organic carbon in these soil types. |
