Cropping systems on a given soil greatly influence the quantity and quality of the soil organic carbon. In addition to the variability in carbon source material, soil management practices may largely influence the amount of carbon being sequestered and its characteristics. In the present study, soil profile samples were collected from different long-term sugarcane and rice production systems. The collected soil samples were analyzed for the total soil carbon and their characteristics by pyrolysis GC/MS.
