Soil Organic Carbon (SOC)
Benchmark Value
Scoring Curve
The scoring engine could not generate a curve for this benchmark context. The primary form is Point, but the benchmark data may be missing required fields (e.g., optimal range bounds for an OptimalRange benchmark). This is typically a data quality issue in the benchmark pipeline.
Evidence & Context
Benchmarks from agricultural districts in South Australia indicate mean SOC concentrations of 1.14% for pasture in the Western Eyre Peninsula.
Mean SOC concentration in agricultural pasture land within the biome.
This benchmark represents the mean soil organic carbon concentration in pasture agricultural land within the Temperate Coastal Forests & Woodlands biome, reflecting managed pasture conditions.
Mean SOC values from agricultural districts provide a reference for managed land.
