  • Beschreibung: Abstract. A critical aspect of predicting soil organic carbon (SOC) concentrations isthe lack of available soil information; where information on soilcharacteristics is available, it is usually focused on regions of highagricultural interest. To date, in Chile, a large proportion of the SOCdata have been collected in areas of intensive agricultural or forestry use;however, vast areas beyond these forms of land use have few or no soil dataavailable. Here we present a new SOC database for the country, which is the result ofan unprecedented national effort under the framework of the Global SoilPartnership. This partnership has helped build the largest database of SOCto date in Chile, named the Chilean Soil Organic Carbon database (CHLSOC),comprising 13 612 data points compiled from numerous sources, includingunpublished and difficult-to-access data. The database will allow users tofill spatial gaps where no SOC estimates were publicly available previously.Presented values of SOC range from 6×10-5 % to 83.3 %,reflecting the variety of ecosystems that exist in Chile. The database has the potential to inform and test current models that predictSOC stocks and dynamics at larger spatial scales, thus enabling benefitsfrom the richness of geochemical, topographic and climatic variability inChile.
