土壤有机碳(SOC)调节陆地生态系统的功能，为土壤微生物提供多种能源，控制土壤结构，调节有机结合养分的有效性。越来越多不同学科的研究人员认识到，量化SOC属性可以提供对生态状态和过程的洞察。今天，多个研究网络收集和提供SOC数据，并且可以使用强大的新技术来管理、共享和分析大型数据集。我们主张科学界利用这些发展，通过标准化协议增加SOC数据集。我们描述了为什么这样的努力很重要，以及它将有助于的学科的广度，并概述了SOC和辅助变量的标准化抽样的分级方法，范围从简单到复杂。我们的目标是那些几乎没有土壤科学背景的科学家，以及那些拥有更多土壤相关专业知识的科学家，并提供了结果数据如何组织、共享和可发现的方法的例子。
Soil organic carbon (SOC) regulates terrestrial ecosystem functioning, provides diverse energy sources for soil microorganisms, governs soil structure, and regulates the availability of organically bound nutrients. Investigators in increasingly diverse disciplines recognize how quantifying SOC attributes can provide insight about ecological states and processes. Today, multiple research networks collect and provide SOC data, and robust, new technologies are available for managing, sharing, and analyzing large data sets. We advocate that the scientific community capitalize on these developments to augment SOC data sets via standardized protocols. We describe why such efforts are important and the breadth of disciplines for which it will be helpful, and outline a tiered approach for standardized sampling of SOC and ancillary variables that ranges from simple to more complex. We target scientists ranging from those with little to no background in soil science to those with more soil-related expertise, and offer examples of the ways in which the resulting data can be organized, shared, and discoverable.
