Effect of land use change and slope position on soil organic carbon in Kitabi Watershed Rwanda
Effect of land use change and slope position on soil organic carbon in Kitabi Watershed Rwanda

Comment :
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of LUC and slope positions on SOC stocks in
Kitabi watershed. Slope positions were derived from the DEM using Topographic Position Index (TPI) tool and the output raster was overlaid with the LUC map to identify sample strata. Results indicate that LU types significantly affect SOC stocks (p < 0.001) while slope position does not (p =.491). The interaction of LU and slope position has no significant effect on SOC stocks across the three land use types (p = .061).
