Globally, the amount of soil organic carbon (SOC) is more than twice that in the atmosphere or living vegetation. Soil organic carbon is an extremely important soil health indicator because it influences almost all soil biological, chemical, and physical properties and processes. Loss of SOC accelerates soil health problems such as soil erosion and decreases soil aggregation. This chapter explores those issues and discusses various SOC measurement methods.
