Spatial Variability and Relationship of Mangrove Soil Organic Matter to Organic Carbon

Figure 3

Linear regression of soil organic matter (OM) measured by loss on ignition (LOI) to soil organic carbon (SOC) measured by gas combustion analysis for (a) all soil samples (), (b) soil samples near the ocean (), and (c) soil samples near the land (). The delineation of soil sample groups for (b) and (c) was divided from the center area parallel to the shoreline along the study area.
