Soil erosion and redeposition may result in redistribution of soil carbon in terrestrial systems.However

limited information is available about transfer and redistribution characteristics of various soil organic C in the processes of the erosion and redeposition.A representative erosion deposition landform

consisting of strongly eroded zone

slightly eroded zone

slope depositional zone

and bottom depositional zone

was selected to sample four soil profiles for studying the spatial variation of various organic carbon pools in different landform positions and exploring fate of various organic C in the processes of soil erosion deposition.Results showed that intrinsic characteristics of various organic C greatly affected their transfer and distribution behaviors.Contents of total soil organic C and its components increased in the ascendant order of strongly eroded zone

slightly eroded zone

slope depositional zone

and bottom depositional zone.Total organic C content of soil profiles in the eroded zones decreased significantly along with sampling depth

meanwhile those in depositional areas kept relatively high organic C in all sampling depths

even at the deep layer.Black C is the most mobile form of soil organic C and it tended to be accumulated in the soils in bottom depositional zone of the continuation landform.Because of being buried or physically protected from decomposition in the depositional zones

organic C in the zones was C sink.
