soil organic carbon(sOC) content and its stable carbon isotopic composition(within the upper 1 m) were measured to determine the e?ect of land-use changes from dry evergreen forest to maize fields in eastern *** land cover maps,derived from aerial photography and satellite images for years 1989,1996,and 2002 were used in association with field surveys and farmer interviews to derive land-use history and to assist in study site *** from forest to maize cultivation for the duration of 12 years reduced sOC stocks at the rate of 6.97 Mg C ha-1 *** was most pronounced in the top 10 cm soil layer,which was 47% after 12 years of *** carbon isotope data revealed that the main fraction lost was forest-derived *** low input rates of maize-derived C were not sufficient to maintain sOC at the level prior to forest *** 12 years of continuous maize cultivation,the maize-derived C fraction made up about 20% of total sOC(5 Mg ha-1 of the total 25.31 Mg ha-1).
