Table 2. Regressional relationships of SOC and STC determined between by the elemental analyzer and by the modified Walkley-Black (MWB) method in four soil depths on the Tibetan Plateau using a linear regression passing through the origin.

SOCCNS, the difference between STC and SIC; SOCMWB, SOC determined by the MWB method.
