Abstract
In this chapter, we briefly summarize the current knowledge on the major environmental drivers of soil C across different spatial scales and provide support with new analysis of data from global to micro scales. Our main aim is to use existing data to identify differences in dominant drivers and mechanisms of soil C storage from global to soil aggregate scales and propose new concepts where appropriate. To do this, we use both de novo analyses using a variety of statistical modeling (Box 5.1) and report examples from the literature.
