Land use and land cover change has resulted in substantial losses of carbon from soils globally
Human appropriation of land for agriculture has greatly altered the terrestrial carbon balance, creating a large but uncertain carbon debt in soils
Estimating the size and spatial distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) loss due to land use and land cover change has been difficult
Human population and economic growth has led to an exponential rise in use of soil resources
Conversion of native soil to agricultural uses typically leads to a decline in SOC levels
