Comparing Organic Carbon Estimation Methods by Dang Thi Kim Yen is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document compares two methods for estimating organic carbon in calcareous soil profiles: the Walkley-Black dichromate combustion method and the loss-on-ignition (LOI) method. A previous study found a strong correlation between LOI and total organic carbon. The current study found that the dichromate method recovered less organic carbon than LOI, especially for soils with high clay and carbonate contents. Although both methods provided consistent results, the dichromate method was considered more reliab
