The Walkley–Black method, a widely used technique for estimating soil organic carbon, offers rapid and cost-effective analysis despite incomplete oxidation, typically recovering 60–86% of SOC and requiring a correction factor for accuracy. Despite these drawbacks, the method continues to be a standard in soil testing laboratories for rapid SOC assessment. The dry combustion method, conducted at high temperatures, determines the total carbon content of soils using a CHN analyzer.
