The aim of this study was to compare the soils of the wheat cultivation area(WCA) and the safflower cultivation area (SCA) within semi-arid climatezones in terms of their total carbon, nitrogen, and sulphur contents, particlesize distribution, aggregate stability, organic matter content, and pH values. This study presents the results from the analyses of 140 soilsamples taken at two soil layers (0–10 and 10–20 cm) in the cultivationareas. At the end of the study, it was established that there weresignificant differences between the cultivation areas in terms of soilphysical properties such as total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), totalsulphur (TS) contents and pH, while only the TN content wassignificantly different between the two soil layers. Moreover, significantdifferences were identified between the cultivation areas in terms of soilphysical properties including clay and sand contents, aggregate stability,and organic matter content, whereas the only significant difference foundamong the soil layers was that of their silt content. Since safflowercontains higher amounts of biomass than wheat, we found higher amounts oforganic matter content and, therefore, higher amounts of TN and TS contentin the soils of the SCA. In addition, due to the fact that wheat containsmore cellulose – which takes longer to decompose – the TC content of the soilin the WCA was found to be higher than that in the SCA. The results alsorevealed that the WCA had a higher carbon storage capacity
