Resumen:
oil organic carbon (SOC) mineralization is essential for nutrient cycling; however, it also increases carbon emission as CO2 to the atmosphere (CO2-C). Therefore, detailed information is required to design land use practices promoting positive C balances and soil health. Short-term SOC mineralization is sensitive to soil properties. Short-term soil C mineralization at a landscape scale has been poorly describe, despite the need to understand the variability of C dynamics among environments. The objectives of this work were to 1) estimate the parameters of short-term soil C mineralization kinetics in different locations within a region and 2) explore correlations among site-specific kinetic parameters and edaphoclimatic properties of sampled sites. The study involved 150 sites with different soil and climatic characteristics sampled from a 165,000 km2 area in central Argentina. CO2-C data were obtained from 28-day laboratory incubation experiments of the 150 soil samples. We tested thr
