Soil organic carbon (SOC) storage under different types of vegetations in China were estimated using measured data of 2 440 soil profiles to compare SOC density distribution between different estimates, to map the soil organic carbon stocks under different types of vegetation in China, and to ...
Soil organic carbon (SOC) is a major component of the global carbon cycle and has a potentially large impact on the greenhouse effect. Paddy soils are important agricultural soils worldwide, especially in Asia. Thus, a better understanding of the relatio
BEIJING, Nov. 23 (Xinhua) -- A group of Chinese researchers issued a data map of the soil organic carbon (SOC) content for global black soil regions, shedding light on the quantification of agro-ecosystems and global food security, according to the recent issue of the journal Remote Sensing...
Patterns of soil organic carbon (SOC) storage and density in various soil types or locations are the foundation for examining the role of soil in the global carbon cycle. An assessment of SOC storage and density patterns in China based on soil types as defined by Chinese Soil Taxonomy (CST)...
Agricultural soils in China have been estimated to have a large potential for carbon sequestration, and modelling and literature survey studies have yielded contrasting results of soil organic carbon (SOC) stock change, ranging from −2.0 to +0.6% yr−1. To assess the validity of earlier esti...
BEIJING, April 14 (Xinhua) -- Soil carbon usually refers only to the organic matter component of soils, known as soil organic carbon (SOC). However, soil carbon also has an inorganic component, known as soil inorganic carbon (SIC).

quality, arable soil quality is low and the soil layer thin, and land is continuing to degrade. Organic carbon content in China’s soil is more than 30% lower than the global average, and less than half that in Europe. But that also means there is huge potential for carbon sequestration...
Soil organic carbon storage changes with climate change, landform and land use conditions in Garhwal hills of the Indian Himalayan mountains The Indian Himalayan mountain region is predominantly under forest cover with soils having high organic carbon content. In the past few decades significant... D...
The estimation of the size and changes of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks is of great importance for decision makers to adopt proper measures to protect soils and to develop strategies for mitigation of greenhouse gases. In this paper, soil data from the Second State Soil Survey of China (...
