Abstract:
      Soil organic carbon(SOC)forms the basis of soil fertility, food production, and soil health, and plays a key role in global carbon balance. Consequently, accurate characterization of SOC spatio-temporal changes is extremely important for ensuring the soil health and food security, long-term stability of the ecosystem, and the mitigation and adaptation to climate change. In this study, we first reviewed maindriving factors of spatio-temporal SOC change and the approaches in estimating SOC spatio-temporal changes, and then summarized the existing large-scale studies(global/national)on SOC spatio-temporal changes. Finally, we proposed the possible challenges from the aspects of SOC model structure improvement, driving data quality,uncertainty quantification. This review may provide some guidances for large-scale spatio-temporal change research of SOC.
