3 Swedish Soil Survey * Land use * Humus * Hydrology * Land type * Texture * Soils * Soil chemistry * Vegetation * Biodiversity * Soil change Department of Forest Soils, SLU

4 SK plots RIS MI plots IM 4 catchments

5 ICP Forest level II ICP IM sites

6 Soil inventories on NFI plots NFI started occasional inventories on temporal plots plots st inventory on permanent plots plots nd inventory on permanent plots plots rd - c plots

7 Swedish NFI tract, several sizes, but c. 800 m common

8 Swedish NFI content start 1923 Land use Growing stock and growth Forest age and structure Forest site conditions and vegetation Harvesting and other forestry measures Prerequisites for biodiversity

46 Area [M Ha] SOC stock [Mton] Min RMSE Max RMSE Cambisol Podzol Histosol Total The upscaling results give a total SOC stock on Swedish forest soils of 2471 Mton. Around 45% of the SOC, 1154 Mton, is stored in Histosols which cover 20% of the forested area. Podzols cover 70% of the forested area and store another 45% of the SOC (1154 Mton). Histosols contain a large amount of SOC which make them hotspots in case of climate change. This kind of soils need to be closely monitored. The uncertainty analysis show that the total SOC stock lies between 2346 and 2599 Mton.
