We aim at (1) identifying the size and patterns of organic carbon storage in soils at different scales of resolution, (2) assessing the turnover time of soil organic carbon (SOC), (3) continuously quantifying the CO2-exchange at high temporal resolution and partition carbon fluxes, (4) assessing the carbon transport to the hydrosphere as dissolved organic matter, along with inorganic solutes, and (5) projecting changes in SOC storage and carbon fluxes under different climate and land use regimes.
