    Calculations
    Soil Organic Carbon (%) x 10,000 (m2) x Bulk Density (g/cm3) x soil depth (m) = Tonnes SOC/ha

    For more detail; https://www.soilquality.org.au/factsheets/organic-carbon

    For example:
    SOC 1.2%
    BD 1.3g/cm3
    Soil sample depth 100cm
    1.2% x 10,000 (m2) x 1.3 (g/cm3) x 0.1 (m) = 1560T/ha
    or a carbon build of 0.002%/yr
    0.002% x 10,000m x 1.3g/cm3 x 0.1m2 = 2.6T SOC/ha/yr
