The global soil organic carbon (SOC) mass is relevant for the carbon cycle budget and thus atmo- spheric carbon concentrations. We review current estimates of SOC stocks and mass (stock area) in wetlands, permafrost and tropical regions and the world in the upper 1 m of soil. The Harmonized World Soil Database (HWSD) v.1.2 provides one of the most recent and coherent global data sets of SOC, giving a total mass of 2476 Pg when using the original
