Soil organic carbon stock in kg/m2 for 5 standard depth intervals (0–10, 10–30, 30–60, 60–100 and 100–200 cm) at 250 m resolution

Soil organic carbon stock in kg/m2 for 5 standard depth intervals (0–10, 10–30, 30–60, 60–100 and 100–200 cm) at 250 m resolution. Derived using soil organic carbon content, bulk density and coarse fragments, predicted from point data at 6 standard depths. Processing steps are described in detail here. Antartica is not included.

All files internally compressed using "COMPRESS=DEFLATE" creation option in GDAL. File naming convention:

• sol = theme: soil,
• organic.carbon.stock = variable: soil organic carbon stock in kg/m2,
• msa.kgm2 = determination method: derived from organic carbon content, bulk density and coarse fragments,
• m = mean value,
• 250m = spatial resolution / block support: 250 m,
• b0..10cm = vertical reference: 0-10 cm layer below surface,
• 1950..2017 = time reference: period 1950-2017,
• v0.1 = version number: 0.1,
