Article Synopsis
- Realistic soil organic carbon (SOC) targets must consider differences in soil types and land uses, particularly focusing on the SOC/clay ratio for more accurate assessments.
- A comparison of historical data from the National Soil Inventory and long-term experiments showed that normalizing for clay concentration reveals significant differences in SOC health between arable and permanent grass or woodland soils.
- Proposed long-term SOC/clay targets are 1/13 for arable soils, 1/10 for ley grass, and greater than 1/8 for permanent grass and woodland soils, which can inform soil management practices in temperate regions globally.
