Abstrakt: The article presents a study on the development of the Northern Circumpolar Soil Carbon Database (NCSCD), a polygon-based digital database of soil carbon storage and soil coverage in North America and Eurasia. The study used sampling techniques, Walkley-Black method, and quantitative research. Results show that NCSCD helps in the estimation of global soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks.
