Quantitatively Predicting Soil Carbon Across Landscapes

Résumé

Quantitative prediction of soil carbon (C) in the landscape can be achieved by empirical or mechanistic models, or a combination of both. The empirical approach called digital soil mapping, usually involves: collection of a database of soil carbon observations over an area of interest; compilation of relevant covariates for the area; calibration or training of a spatial prediction function based on the observed dataset; interpolation and/or- extrapolation of the prediction function over the whole area; and finally validation using existing or independent datasets. The resulting digital maps of C can be used in landscape mechanistic models simulating soil organic C evolution laterally and vertically (within the profile). Here we demonstrate the two approaches in predicting C stock evolution in a landscape in Northwest of France. We introduce the pedogeomorphometry approach which can combine the two approaches to map soil carbon dynamics at the landscape scale.
