This module aggregates more than 13,000 scientific papers published between the beginning of the
20th century till now and more than 200 meta-analysis.
You can have access to quantitative information by land use type: cropland, grassland, forest land,
wetlands or other lands (following the classification of the IPCC - International Panel on Climate
Change). For each land use type, you have access to the impact of climate change, of land use
change, and of management. These impacts are broken down by interventions or driving factors
(drivers).
Warning: Interventions in Scientific evidence come from different sources than the land
management practices described in Practices.
You also have access to the list of scientific papers and meta-analysis of each land use type by clicking
on Publications.
To achieve this result, we conducted a literature
search to retrieve all peer-reviewed meta- analyses that reported
at
least one quantification on soil organic carbon, expressed as either a
concentration (g C kg⁻¹ soil or equivalent) or a stock (t C ha⁻¹
or
equivalent). We then extracted all quantifications presented in the
meta-analyses and combined them to obtain a global overview of the
impacts of multiple interventions on soil organic carbon, with
high
statistical power. Additionally, we assessed the methodological
quality
of the meta-analyses, and compiled all the primary studies
synthetized within them to clearly identify and present
potential bias and limitation in the current scientific
knowledge.
Please note the following:
-
A publication can be linked to one or more countries and may therefore appear multiple times on the map.
-
In the graphs, only the most relevant subcategories are
displayed.
All the sources studied are described in the Related Scientific Work section.
