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.
The most common engineering classification system for soils in North America is the Unified System (USCS). The USCS has three major classification groups: (1) coarse-grained soils (e.g. sands and gravels ); (2) fine-grained soils (e.g. silts and clays ); and (3) highly organic soils (referred to as "peat").

1. Introduction. Approximately one third of the land area is covered by forests (FOREST UNECE FAO, 2011).Their soils, including the forest floors, are considered a major store for terrestrial carbon (C), with an equivalent (Smith et al., 2006) or a much larger (Dixon et al., 1994, Eswaran et al., 1993, Lal, 2005) amount of C than found in the aboveground biomass.
