Organic and inorganic elements of soil exhibit a wide range of physical and chemical characteristics. Exact soil composition estimates are required for many ecological and soil science studies and global climate change research. The most typical method for estimating soil variables involves collecting and analyzing data in a laboratory, which is time-consuming and expensive. This paper proposes a rapid, in-situ approach for assessing soil organic carbon utilizing the soil combustion method. In the suggested approach, a metal tube with a heating probe heats the soil to approximately 400°C. The heat oxidizes a known-volume soil sample, creating CO2• To estimate soil organic carbon, a CO2 sensor measures the accumulated CO2 concentration at the tube's top. A laboratory experiment was undertaken to demonstrate the proposed method's potential.
