A promising method in the estimation of soil organic carbon (SOC) changes is modelling, one of the most used models for the prediction of changes in SOC stock on agricultural land being the RothC model. Because of its simplicity and availability of the input data, RothC was used for testing the efficiency to predict the development of SOC stock during a 35-year period on agricultural land of Slovakia. The data show an increase of SOC stock during the first (20 years) phase and no significant changes in the course of the second part of modelling. The increase of SOC stock in the first phase can be explained by a high carbon input of plant residues and manure and a lower temperature in comparison with the second modelling part.
