Abstract
Extensive measurements of radiocarbon have been used in New Zealand si nce the mid-1960s to follow carbon (C) movement and turnover in soils. We present here unpublished radiocarbon (C-14) measurements on a rang e of eight New Zealand soils with details of the sites, ecosystems, cl imates, soil descriptions and associated analytical data. An overview is also given of published C-14 measurements on soils, and the use of these measurements to model soil C turnover.
