Abstract
Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) has an important rolein soil fertility, so it becomes one of the soil properties as anindicator in determining soil health and quality. The amount ofcarbon stock in the soil can change due to land use and erosionthat occurs at different slope levels and the transformationprocess from soil to air in the form of CO<sub>2</sub>, which can causeglobal warming. This study aims to study soil carbon stocks invarious types of land use and slope levels at The Central ofHorticultural Production, Banuhampu Agam West Sumatra.Soil sampling from various types of land use (forest, paddyfields, and fields) and slope (0–8; 8–15; 15–25, and 25–45%) at adepth of 0–20 cm. The results showed that the average value ofBD and SOC at The Central of Horticultural Production,Banuhampu Agam West Sumatra, was 0.93 g cm<sup>−3</sup> and 0.22% Cwith a carbon potential of 4.04<sup>E2</sup> Mg ha<sup>−1</sup>. The highestestimation of soil carbon stocks on land use and slopes in TheCentral of Horticultural Production of 296338.76 [paddy (0–8%)]; 118778.52 [fields (15–25%)]; and 55367.64 [forest (25–45%)] Mg. The Correlation of soil carbon stock in The Centralof Horticultural Production, Banuhampu Agam West Sumatra,is positively related to carbon potential = carbon density > bulkdensity > SOC (<em>r</em> = 0.111 = 0.111 > 0.094 > 0.048).
