Summary:[...]a little research was conducted on methods of quantitative analysis and an effective way to evaluate and modeled appropriate field management factors to estimate soil organic carbon. [...]a comprehensive study on the status of management actions that govern the land areas and in real terms is not addressed. [...]the aim of this study was to identify management factors and prioritize effects of these factors for the quantity of soil organic carbon storage in dry farming areas at the traditional field management condition. According to the results of the three methods, cluster analysis has more precise estimate for carbon storage in soils. According to the results, the well-known effects of management on soil carbon storage variability implied that experts need to review the approach and attitude towards the sustainable utilization of land resources in agriculture land uses. [...]it is suggested that improved management systems of the different regions is a positive step in reducing atmospheric carbon density and thus storage of more carbon in the soil and also to precise land use management approach to sustainable agriculture and maintain soil carbon are highly recommended.
