Abstract

 

 

This paper aims to study the carbon accumulation in soils of a seasonal flooded wetland under the influence of environmental factors in the dry and rainy season of the year 2018. Soil samples from the most upper layer (5 cm) were collected for carbon analysis as described by the General Department of Forestry (2012). Soil temperature, humidity, pH, and carbon emissions were quantified at the same time of sampling in field right after the soil collection. The results showed that there was no significant difference in the soils carbon stocks between the seasons (P>0,05). Instead, soil submergence played an important role in carbon accumulation. Soil carbon stocks in flooded positions (9,09 ± 2,22 tons/ha) were significantly higher compared to the non-flooded ones (3,58 ± 2,32 tons/ha) (P<0,001). Soil submergence resulted in the decrease of soil temperature and lowered the carbon emissions and hence, led to the gradual accumulation of organic matter in the soils.
