Temperature-Dependent Determination of Total Carbon (TC), Total Organic Carbon (TOC), Residual Oxidizable Carbon (ROC), and Total Inorganic Carbon (TIC) in Soil

Total organic carbon (TOC) analysis is a widely used indicator of soil quality in agricultural and ecological systems. Because TOC reflects the amount of carbon stored in soil organic matter, it serves as a strong measure of soil health, fertility, and its capacity to sequester atmospheric carbon.
