The '4 per 1000' initiative aims to increase soil organic carbon stocks to offset carbon dioxide emissions. For a French case study, this graphic offers evidence of the links between carbon stocks and agricultural productions at the territorial level: stocks are positively associated to animal loads, whereas soils with arable crops have much lower stocks despite a higher storage potential. Territorial mapping of both storage capacities and organic resources is needed to optimize soil carbon storage.
