The '4 per mille Soils for Food Security and Climate'was launched at the COP21 with an
aspiration to increase global soil organic matter stocks by 4 per 1000 (or 0.4%) per year as a …

Soil carbon is a key component of functional ecosystems and crucial for food, soil, water and
energy security. Climate change and altered land-use are having a great impact on soils …

There is a global demand for soil data and information for food security and global
environmental management. There is also great interest in recognizing the soil system as a …

Precise determination of changes in organic carbon (OC) stocks is prerequisite to
understand the role of soils in the global cycling of carbon and to verify changes in stocks …

Soil organic carbon plays a major role in the global carbon budget, and can act as a source
or a sink of atmospheric carbon, thereby possibly influencing the course of climate change …

Carbon stored in soils contributes to a variety of soil functions, including biomass production,
water storage and filtering, biodiversity maintenance, and many other ecosystem services …

Abstract Changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) storage have the potential to affect global
climate; hence identifying environments with a high capacity to gain or lose SOC is of broad …

Carbon cycle is influenced by agricultural soils, and accurately mapping the soil organic
carbon (SOC) content of global Mollisols at a 30 m spatial resolution can contribute to …

Soil organic matter not only affects soil properties and productivity but also has an essential
role in global carbon (C) cycle. We studied changes in the topsoil C content of Finnish …

Mechanistic understanding of scale effects is important for interpreting the processes that
control the global carbon cycle. Greater attention should be given to scale in soil organic …
