Figure 4.
Global soil organic carbon (SOC), 0–0.3 m depth, disaggregated by biome. Red, filled circles indicate predicted values from SOMic 1.0 (as the sum of the five individual model pools; SPM, IPM, DOC, MB, and MAC). Open black symbols indicate estimates from GSOC (squares), the harmonized world soils database (HWSD; upward triangles), and SoilGrids (downward triangles). Error bars with ticks indicate the mean +/− 1 s.d. of GSOC, HWSD and Soil Grids.
