“…Lal (2004) and Gottschalk et al (2012) reported higher latitude regions undergoing overall losses and tropical regions undergoing overall gains. At the country or regional level, SOC change under climate change has been spatially simulated in a number of recent studies, ranging from 250 m to over 50 km resolution, including in North America Follett et al, 2012;Dib et al, 2014;Zhong and Xu, 2014;Byrd et al, 2015;Orem et al, 2015), in Asia (Hashimoto et al, 2012;Zhao et al, 2013Zhao et al, , 2015, and in Europe and the Mediterranean region (Smith et al, 2005(Smith et al, , 2006Álvaro-Fuentes and Paustian, 2011;Álvaro-Fuentes et al, 2012).…”
