Abstract On China's Loess Plateau, where the distribution of soil organic carbon (soil − Corg) is mainly influenced by topography, afforestation is an important strategy to sequester carbon and reduce soil erosion. To explore the effects of topography on soil − Corg, soil samples were obtained at six depths (0–0.1 m, 0.1–0.2 m, 0.2–0.4 m, 0.4–0.6 m, 0.6–0.8 m, and 0.8–1.0 m) from locations on the Loess Plateau which had supported apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) growth for 16 years and differed in slope aspect (sunny or semi-sunny vs. shady or semi-shady) and gradient (14° ≤ S
