The world’s soils support agriculture, plant growth, and store an enormous amount of carbon that might otherwise be in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Understanding the stability of this soil carbon, and how CO₂ emissions from the soil to atmosphere might change, is thus crucial. This talk introduces key concepts, discusses how observations are made of soil carbon fluxes, and walks through how we link such data into a coherent global-scale picture, as well as limitations and uncertainties.
