Digging deeper: A holistic perspective of factors affecting soil organic carbon sequestration in agroecosystems

R Lal - Global change biology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
The global magnitude (Pg) of soil organic carbon (SOC) is 677 to 0.3‐m, 993 to 0.5‐m, and
1,505 to 1‐m depth. Thus,~ 55% of SOC to 1‐m lies below 0.3‐m depth. Soils of …
