<p class='jove_content'>Labile organic carbon (LOC) and the potential carbon turnover rate are sensitive indicators of changes in soil nutrient cycling processes. Details are provided for a method based on fumigating and incubating soil in a series of cycles and using the CO<sub>2</sub> accumulated during the incubation periods to estimate these parameters.</p>
