By contrast, forestland and other semi-natural vegetation areas experience an overall surplus of sediments which is driven by a re-deposition of sediments eroded from agricultural land. Combining the predicted loss rates with the organic carbon (SOC) stock, we estimate a SOC displacement by water erosion of 14.5 Tg yr −1.
