These technical manual compiles standardized data on soil organic carbon (SOC) management, emphasizing its role in climate regulation and Sustainable Development Goal 15. It presents sustainable soil management (SSM) practices across various environments, supported by case studies showcasing effective SOC sequestration. The manual is structured into six volumes: an introduction and methodology (Vol. 1), SOC stock hot spots and sequestration potential (Vol. 2), SOC-related practices and case studies in croplands, grasslands, and integrated systems (Vols. 3 & 4), and SOC management in forestry, wetlands, and urban soils (Vols. 5 & 6). These insights inform policy development and practical applications for improving soil carbon storage.
