Carbon Sequestration in Reclaimed Mined Soils of Ohio (Report for April 1, 2004-June 30, 2004).

DE2004831124

Publication Date	2004
Personal Author	Shukla, M. K.; Lal, R.
Page Count	24
Abstract	This research project is aimed at assessing the soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration potential of reclaimed minesoils (RMS). The experimental sites, owned and maintained by the American Electrical Power, are located in Guernsey, Morgan, Noble, and Muskingum Counties of Ohio. These sites, characterized by age chronosequences, were reclaimed with and without topsoil application and are under continuous grass or forest cover. During this quarter, bulk and core soil samples were collected from all 13 experimental sites for 0-15 cm, 15-30 cm, and 30-50 cm depths.
