Global Soil Organic Carbon displaced due to erosion

QR code

By integrating global soil erosion data with a recent SOC map, we estimated gross SOC displacement due to water erosion (interrill and rill processes) at 220 m pixel resolution at global scale. In addition, to the baseline data (2019), we also provide projections of SOC losses in 2070 under two climate scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP8.5)
