High-resolution information on soils vulnerability to climate-induced soil organiccarbon (SOC) loss can enable environmental scientists, land managers, and policy makers to develop targeted mitigation strategies. This study aims to estimate baseline anddecadal changes in continental US surface SOC stocks under future emission scenarios.
