Land-use change effects on soil organic carbon stocks and potential CO2-equivalent emissions in the Ecuadorian Andes

Soil organic carbon (SOC), the second largest carbon reservoir at the Earth’s surface, plays a key role in climate regulation and ecosystem functioning by supporting biodiversity, regulating hydrological processes, and maintaining soil structure and fertility. Land-use change, however, can substantially reduce SOC st...
