Forest soils are an important reservoir of organic carbon (OC) and a potential source or sink for atmospheric CO₂. Prediction of OC stock changes under ongoing climatic and management changes requires a spatial explicit base. Knowledge of the vertical distribution of OC stocks is very important, since varying soil layers may be affected differently by environmental change.

德国黑森州森林土壤碳储量的空间 3D 制图

森林土壤是重要的有机碳 (OC) 库，也是大气 CO ₂的潜在来源或汇。在持续的气候和管理变化下预测 OC 库变化需要一个空间明确的基础。了解 OC 库的垂直分布非常重要，因为不同的土壤层可能会受到环境变化的不同影响。
