Descripción
This document provides definitions and guidance for the global soil carbon mapping activity which the Global Soil Partnership (GSP) and Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils (ITPS) committed to un-dertake in the framework of its cooperation with the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertifi-cation (UNCCD) and its Science Policy Interface (SPI). The GSP partners are engaging in a global soil carbon (GSC) mapping activity, which is primarily based on existing soil carbon maps and measurem ents. A GSC map will be produced based on existing na-tional soil carbon data. This activity is closely linked to the development of the Global Soil Information System under GSP Pillar 4 on Soil Data and Information. Due to the urgency for action and the envisaged cooperation across United Nations (UN) conventions as a contribution to the sustainable development goals (SDGs), this activity is pursued with high priority. This document provides background and detailed specifications about the requ ired data sources and methodologies.
