Short summary
The Sanjiang Plain of China, an important grain production base, is typical of ecosystems. In this study, 419 soil samples and a geostatistical method were used to estimate total SOC storage and to determine its pattern-controlling factors. The results from this study provide the most up-to-date knowledge on the storage and pattern of SOC in this plain, and the analysis conducted here could contribute to the determination of ecosystem carbon budgets and our understanding of ecosystem services.
