P.1 left column: "The amount of soil organic C in forests typically accounts for more than 50% of the total ecosystem carbon and in some cases it exceeds the carbon stored in the aboveground biomass by three times (BNID 114096). In this way, it has been estimated that the current C-stock in the soil forests (to 1-m depth) over the world is 383 ± 30 Pg C (primary source)." Pg C=Peta grams C=10^15 grams carbon |
