Progress on the implementation of the outcome document of the Global Symposium on Soil Organic Carbon (GSOC17)
- 1. Progress on the implementation of GSOC17 outcome document Rosa Cuevas Corona, GSP Secretariat
- 2. Implementation of the recommendations from the GSOC17 Preventing further SOC losses and, where feasible, providing incentives to increase SOC stocks
- 4. Guidelines for measuring, mapping, monitoring and reporting on SOC stock and stock changes • To support management decisions. • Reduce uncertainty of global SOC stocks. • Feasible guidelines for implementing at all levels. Current status • 100+ Experts • To be released in 2019 • Drafting Phase
- 5. Technical manual on SOC management at the regional and sub-regional scale • Response to the urgent need to identify and compile management practices and LUS that promote the preservation and/or enhancement of SOC stocks. • The contributions will be adapted to site characteristics and land user needs and consider cost-benefit analyses and social impacts • Another virtue of this document will be to consider the different socio- economic, cultural and environmental contexts at the national and regional level.
- 6. • Inclusive working group of more than 100 participants. • Many iterations: coarse and heterogeneous content, about 500 pages, in 18 chapters (All LUS and SOC rich soils). • The working group sent to the Secretariat the zero draft that was submitted for review by the Panel of Experts (CIRCASA, IPCC, ISP-UNCCD, STC-4per1000). • Based on Panel’s comments and suggestions, an improved, summarized and harmonized version will be prepared since the zero draft obeys more to a scientific revision than to a technical manual. • Taking into account the thickness of the document and the number of participants, the GSP should work on a synthetic and improved version. • The final version will be launched during 2019 World Soil Day celebrations.

Editor's Notes
- The members of the INBS have reached a consensus about a definition of black soils and have signed on a black soil declaration “Harbin Communiqué” in order to facilitate monitoring, mapping and sustainable management of black soils.
- The use of a single ‘soil-centered’ carbon model is proposed, in order to obtain consistent results. Based on its widespread use, fewer data requirements, and relative simplicity to obtain input data compared to other models, Roth-C model is suggested. Modeling, data analysis and digital mapping should be performed by country designed experts, following a standard protocol. Careful coordination and harmonization of climatic, land cover, soil data (same resolution) required as direct or indirect inputs, and election of defined data sources is essential in order to obtain consistent results among regions and countries. National expert opinion (local extensionists, local researchers, local officers) is required in order to current and feasible ‘improved’ land use/management practices, required as direct or indirect inputs to run the models. The role of National experts/analysts is also key to interpreting, discussing and supervising preliminary and final results. The set-up of a team of regional modeling-digital mapping experts is proposed, in order to develop protocols (‘Cook-book’), develop technical capacity in different countries and regions through technical work-shops, and to coordinate and guide national modeling and mapping activities General technical guidance and supervision by a group of designated expert advisers (SOC Advisory Group) is proposed.
