Soils underlying arable croplands typically possess low carbon soil contents (less than about 150 t C ha⁻¹), because they are either under cultivation or have been cultivated in the past [14]. Typically, such soils are maintained under the condition that causes them to lose their carbon to the atmosphere and by leaching at a rapid rate. they present a major challenge for sustainable future sequestration of carbon in soils.

Table 1.1 Estimated soil carbon complements in the top 1 m of common vegetated systems. The ranges provided indicate uncertainty in the global average carbon density for each major vegetated system considered (after Hester et al., 2010) [14].
