Abstract: The soil organic carbon was measured in 6 mangrove communities in Shanwei and Zhushan regions of the Dongzhai Harbor Mangrove Reserve in Hainan Province,China to analyze vertical distribution of the organic carbon content,organic carbon reserve,soil moisture content and soil bulk density in the soil of different mangrove communities,and to compare the organic carbon content and reserve in the mangrove communities in different regions. The results showed that in the soil 0~120 cm deep the organic carbon reserve was 807. 10 t·ha-1 in Shanwei Bruguiera gymnorrhiza community,613. 46 t · hm2 in Shanwei Kandelia candel community,909. 93 t/hm2 in Shanwei Bruguiera marina community,272. 91 t·hm2in Zhushan Bruguiera gymnorrhiza community,286. 50 t·hm2in Zhushan Rhizophora stylosa community,327. 86 t·hm2in Zhushan Bruguiera marina community. The soil organic carbon content and reserve were obviously higher in Shanwei mangrove communities than in the Zhushan,and the organic carbon reserve was still very high in the soil in the depth of 120 cm.
