Evaluation of the Yangtze River Littoral Wetland Soil with Total Organic Carbon

Abstract:

The Three Gorges Reservoir as an important hydraulic project of Yangtze River, the environmental issues attracts worldwide attention, and the environmental problems of littoral wetlands of the Three Gorges Reservoir are more important aspect. Total organic carbon (TOC) content by potassium dichromate oxidation spectrophotometry of downstream the Three Gorges Reservoir in Fengjie, Kaixian, Wushan, Fengdu, Daning estuary in the five regions in soil were determined. Then the organic carbon content of the soil classification comparison, analysis of the causes of soil organic carbon content of the various main reasons for differences, soil classification: the same region, same altitude, different species; the same area, the same species, different altitudes. Finally, by calculating the content of these five regions of the average total organic carbon is about 10.43g/kg.
