Using the data compiled from China’s second national soil survey and an improved method of soil carbon bulk density,we have estimated the changes of soil organic carbon due to land use,and compared the spatial distribution and storage of soil organic carbon (SOC) in cultivated soils and noncultivated soils in *** results reveal that~57% of the cultivated soil subgroups(~31%of the total soil surface) have experienced a significant carbon loss,ranging from 40%to 10%relative to their noncultivated counterparts. The most significant carbon loss is observed for the non-irrigated soils(dry farmland) within a semiarid/semihumid belt from northeastern to southwestern China, with the maximum loss occurring in northeast *** the contrary,SOC has increased in the paddy and irrigated soils in northwest *** significant change is observed for forest soils in southern China,grassland and desert soils in northwest China,as well as irrigated soils in eastern *** SOC storage and density under noncultivated conditions in China are estimated to~77.4Pg(10g) and~8.8 kg Cm,respectively, compared to a SOC storage of~70.3 Pg and an average SOC density of~8.0 kg Cm under the present-day *** suggests a loss of~7.1 Pg SOC and a decrease of -0.8 kg Cm SOC density due to increasing human activities,in which the loss in organic horizons has contributed to~77%.This total loss of SOC in China induced by land use represents~9.5%of the world’s SOC *** amount is equivalent to~3.5 ppmv of the atmospheric CO ***~78%of the currently cultivated soils in China have been degraded to a low/medium productivities and are responsible for most of the SOC loss,an improved land management,such as the development of irrigated and paddy land uses,would have a considerable potential in restoring the SOC *** a restoration of~50%of the lost SOC during the next 20-50 years,the soils in China would absorb~3.5 Pg of carbon from the atmosphere.

Historical database of National Soil Survey Center containing 1424 geo-referenced soil profiles was used in this study for estimating the organic carbon (SOC) for the soils of Ohio, USA. Specific objective of the study was to estimate the spatial distribution of SOC density (C stock per unit area) to 1.0-m depth for soils of Ohio using geographically weighted regression (GWR), and compare the results with that obtained from multiple linear regression (MLR). About 80% of the analytical data were used for calibration and 20% for validation. A total of 20 variables including terrain attributes, climate data, bedrock geology, and land use data were used for mapping the SOC density. Results showed that the GWR provided better estimations with the lowest (3.81 kg m-2) root mean square error (RMSE) than MLR approach Total estimated SOC pool for soils in Ohio ranged from 727 to 742 Tg. This study demon strates that, the local spatial statistical technique, the GWR can perform better in capturing the spatial distribution of SOC across the study region as compared to other global spatial statistical techniques such as MLR. Thus, GWR enhances the accuracy for mapping SOC density.
