Soil carbon (C) forms a major pool in global C cycle and is estimated to store 1500–2000 Pg of carbon in the upper 1 m soil layer1. Absolute amounts of C stored in the soil may vary considerably from one vegetation/land use type to another2.

Soil carbon (C) forms a major pool in global C cycle and is estimated to store 1500–2000 Pg of carbon in the upper 1 m soil layer1. Absolute amounts of C stored in the soil may vary considerably from one vegetation/land use type to another2.
