I am working on some plant species from high altitude Himalayan region. I have done soil moisture content test, organic carbon, nitrogen test for those plants. I think there is a relation between organic carbon, nitrogen and different forest type. How to measure the aspect value?
First of all check the altitude and latitude and according to that u come to know the rain fall and temperature. And according to that u can calculate the moisture level.
Pl. see my papers in the Journal -Tropical ecology and in the Range Management Journal from IGFRI. O.C. in alpine pastures are very high (touching 70%) due to continued growth and die back for decades; The list is given below.
It also depends on the elevation, aspect, land use history and other such factors.

Sir, i am unable to download the papers. kindly send me those valuable papers at- [email protected]
