Volume 2: Recarbonizing global soils - A technical manual of recommended management practices - Hotspots and bright spots on soil organic carbon

This Volume 2 report is part of a six-volume report of UN FAO on Recarbonizing global soils - A technical manual of recommended management practices. Volume 2 includes a description of major areas for consideration for the maintenance or improvement of SOC stocks. This manual defines hot spots of SOC as areas that represent a proportionally little of the global land surface but on which SOC storage is highly effective; bright spots as large land areas with low SOC stocks per km2 that represent a potential for further carbon sequestration.
