Body
Soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks were measured at three water points in the same paddock on the
Barkly Tableland in 2013. The water points were selected based on age - the oldest was established
in 1910, the second oldest in 2005 and the youngest in 2010. The study aimed to determine what
levels of SOC were typical for the cracking black soils (vertosols) in the paddock and whether there
were any relationships between SOC stock, age of the water point and distance from water. The
results confirmed previous work . . . . .
