Of the 2 grasses studied, Pennisetum clandestinum gave more input of organic matter into the 7.5-15.0 cm horizon than Paspalum dilatatum. In the other horizons (0-7.5 and 60-80 cm) both grasses performed equally. Organic matter within microaggregates contained up to 32 percent more old C than the remaining soil after 83 years. The presence of microaggregates was an important factor in stabilizing organic matter in this soil type. Some difficulties with the technique are discussed.
