Spatial analysis of land use change effect on soil organic carbon stocks in the eastern regions of China between 1980 and 2000

Spatial distributions of 0–20 cm soil carbon sources/sinks caused by land use changes from the year 1980 to 2000 in an area of 2.97 × 106 km2 in eastern China were investigated using a land use dataset from a recent soil geochemical survey. A map of soil carbon sources/sinks has been prepared based...
