To assess carbon sequestration in the agricultural and natural systems, it is usually required to report soil organic carbon (SOC) as mass per unit area (Mg ha-1) for a single soil layer (e.g., the 0-0.3 m ploughing layer). However, if the SOC data are reported as relative concentration (g kg-1 or %), it is required to compute the SOC stock and its standard deviation (SD) for a given layer as the ...
