Soil organic carbon stock in kg/m2 for 5 standard depth intervals (0–10, 10–30, 30–60, 60–100 and 100–200 cm) at 250 m resolution. Derived using soil organic carbon content, bulk density and coarse fragments, predicted from point data at 6 standard depths. Processing steps are described in detail here. Antartica is not included. To access and visualize maps use: https://landgis.opengeohub.org All files internally compressed using "COMPRESS=DEFLATE" creation option in GDAL. File naming convention: sol = theme: soil, organic.carbon.stock = variable: soil organic carbon stock in kg/m2, msa.kgm2 = determination method: derived from organic carbon content, bulk density and coarse fragments, m = mean value, 250m = spatial resolution / block support: 250 m, b0..10cm = vertical reference: 0-10 cm layer below surface, 1950..2017 = time reference: period 1950-2017, v0.2 = version number: 0.2,
