Harmonizing wetland soil organic carbon datasets to improve spatial representation of 2011 soil carbon stocks in the conterminous United States

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

These datasets represent a revised national scale estimate of wetland soil carbon stock assessments by improving representation of soil organic carbon densities. This assessment is based on a three-step approach to harmonize survey and point-based data for predicting soil organic carbon density from percent organic carbon alone (or percent organic matter, with conversion), when reliable dry bulk density information is not available. Given issues with survey-level extrapolation of soil pedons into discontinuous hydric soils, quantile, segmented data analysis provides a more accurate spatially explicit soil organic carbon density product. These modeled data leverage spatial and statistical distributions of soil organic carbon percent data of the conterminous United States (CONUS) for two national-scale soil datasets: a wetland-specific field campaign, the EPA National Wetland Condition Assessment, and the USDA NRCS SSURGO survey. See https://doi.org/10.3389/fsoil.2021.706701 for details.
