Soil organic carbon stocks are systematically overestimated by misuse of the parameters bulk density and rock fragment content
Estimation of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks requires estimates of the carbon content, bulk density, rock fragment content and depth of a respective soil layer. However, different application of these parameters could introduce a considerable bias. Here, we explain why three out of four frequently...
