There are generally five soil organic carbon such as light fraction carbon, heavy fraction carbon, microbial organic carbon, total organic carbon and water stable carbon. How can we calculate them in the laboratory?
there are several physicoal and chemical methods.

Please Dilip sir can you tell me the books that mainly deals with fractionation of SOC in India conditions where lab facilities are limited
Possibly the text book on soil science by Biswas and Mukherjee published by Tata- McgrowHill may help you.
Kindly read this review carefully and it will help you for SOM fractionation methods.
