abstract = {Rock fragments (RF) may severely reduce the amount of fine
earth (FE) per soil volume. Here we quantified the effect of
variable RF on spatial patterns of bulk soil organic carbon
(SOC), particulate organic matter (POM) of three size
classes, nonparticulate organic matter (nonPOM), and black
carbon (BC). One hundred and twenty-nine soil samples (0-30
cm) were taken in a regular grid on an arable field nearby
Selhausen (Germany). The weakly inclined site featured a
strong gradient in RF, soil types covered Alfic Eutrochepts,
as well as Typic and Albaquic Hapludalfs. In addition to
C-pool patterns and RF we determined texture, Fe oxides,
soil moisture, as well as hillslope and elevation above sea
level. Additionally, Cs-137 measurements were conducted to
indicate soil erosion. The reduction of SOC stocks by
increasing amounts of RF on a percentage basis was smaller
than attributable to mere dilution effects. Multiple
regression analysis indicated BETA values of 0.65 to 0.73
between RF and FE contents of BC, nonPOM, and the finest POM
fraction. The C contents of the coarse POM fractions were
positively correlated with the amount of RF (R-2 =
0.72-0.78) and their spatial patterns were assumed to be
caused by disproportionate input of plant litter to a
reduced solum when the amount of RF increased. Statistical
structure analysis and variography pointed to hierarchical C
saturation of nonPOM and the finest POM fraction, which was
additionally regulated by Fe oxide contents. Only the
spatial distribution of BC (BETA = -0.15) was affected by
erosion.},
