Soil organic carbon stock in kg/m2 for 5 standard depth intervals (0–10, 10–30, 30–60, 60–100 and 100–200 cm) at 250 m resolution

Soil organic carbon stock in kg/m² for 5 standard depth intervals (0–10, 10–30, 30–60, 60–100 and 100–200 cm) at 250 m resolution. To convert to t/ha multiply by 10. Derived using soil organic carbon content (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1475457), bulk density (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1475970) and coarse fragments (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2525681), predicted from point data at 6 standard depths. Depth to bed rock has been ignored, hence total stocks might be about 10–15% lower then reported. Processing steps are described in detail here. Antarctica is not included.
