Abstract
The oxidable carbon content of 46 calcareous soils from the South-East of Spain was determined by the Walkley and Black method and compared with the total organic carbon (C) content obtained by an automatic mic roanalysis method. The results were fitted to linear, curvilinear, and exponential equations which permit the conversion of the oxidable C v alues into those of total organic C when no direct means of analysis o f the latter is available. A conversion factor of 1.26 is recommended.
