Determinación de carbono orgánico total presente en el suelo y la biomasa de los páramos de las comunidades de chimborazo y shobol llinllin en Ecuador
[EN] In the determination of the content of the total organic carbon in soil and biomass of the moors of the communities of Chimborazo, with 210 ha of moors whose location is 746667UTM-9825400UTM, and Shobol Llinllín, with 350 ha of moors, 754680UTM- 9854678UTM, belonging to San Juan in Ecuador, 9 points of sampling were selected according to the variation, altitude and soil characteristics, divided for this study in three altitudinal thresholds, in the case of the moors of Chimborazo community among 3600 and 3900 MSL and among 3600 and 3950 MSL for Shobol Llinllín. Soil samples were taken at three different depths of 0-30 cm, 30-60 cm and 60-90 cm, and 4 types of samples of biomass were extracted: straw, root of straw, pad, and root of pad, they were all analyzed using the colorimetric method of WallKley-Black oxidation by potassium dichromate. With the diversity of variables taken into account, the obtained data indicate that there is more total organic carbon content in the first layers of soil, straw and pad.In addition, there is a greater percentage of organic carbon in the soils that have not been intervened and this increase with altitude. Chimborazo and Shobol Llinllín communities, possessing a significant extension of moor soils, can play a role in the capture and reduction of greenhouse gases while maintaining intact the organic carbon in soil and biomass
