The global soil carbon map consists of national SOC maps, developed as 1 km soil grids, covering a depth of 0-30 cm. A generic GSOC mapping guideline has been developed, which provides definitions and methodological options.

GSOCmap is the first global soil organic carbon map ever produced through a consultative and participatory process involving member countries, which makes this map totally new and unique.

WORLDSOILS aims to develop a pre-operational Soil Monitoring System to provide yearly estimations of Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) at global scale, exploiting space-based EO data leveraging large soil data archives and modelling techniques to improve the spatial resolution and accuracy of SOC maps.

The first ever country-driven Global Soil Organic Carbon Sequestration Potential Map (GSOCseq) V1.0.0 have just been relesed! These maps allow for the estimation of topsoil (0-30 cm) soil organic carbon sequestration potential in agricultural areas under four soil management scenarios: a Business as Usual (BAU) scenario and three Sustainable ...

Soil organic carbon is the (SOC) carbon that remains in the soil after partial decomposition of any material produced by living organisms. It constitutes a key element of the global carbon cycle through atmosphere, vegetation, soil, rivers and the ocean. FIG. 1: SOC IN THE GLOBAL CARBON CYCLE SOC is the main component of soil

Feb 24, 2022 · GSOCmap is the first global soil organic carbon map ever produced through a consultative and participatory process involving member countries, which makes this map totally new and unique.

Soil Organic Carbon (SOC) stock in the map is represented as a continuous value and expressed in Mg/ha. This field gives the percentage of organic carbon in the subsoil. Organic Carbon is together with pH, the best simple indicator of the health status of the soil.

For global spatial layers on soil parameters, the most recent and complete dataset is available as the Harmonized World Soil Database (HWSD). The amended HWSD was compared to data from 4 other global data sets on SOC stocks.

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is the carbon that remains in the soil after partial decomposition of any material produced by living organisms. Depending on local geology, climatic conditions and land use and management (amongst other factors), soils hold different SOC amounts. DOPA Explorer provides maps of SOC

The Harmonized World Soil Database is a 30 arc-second raster database with over 15000 different soil mapping units that combines existing regional and national updates of soil information worldwide (SOTER, ESD, Soil Map of China, WISE) with the information contained within the 1:5 000 000 scale FAO-UNESCO Soil Map of the World (FAO, 1971--1981).
