چکیده
It is great to see someone knowledgeable about geostatistics offering feedback about this fine paperthank you Gustaf. Because the application of a spatially-resolved upscaling method is one of this paper’s strongest aspects, it would be appropriate if the results of this method were discussed at greater length in the context of other methods. For instance, in the Results and Discussion (page 12), where the authors discuss how C2406

General Comments The discussion paper offers interesting results and a welcome alternative to assessing the soil carbon stocks and changes in Alaska. The equilibrium model approach is particularly helpful since the only other alternative to addressing the question of SOC response to warming seems to be process model outputs (i.e. “ESM’s” in the paper). The map is probably an improvement over ot...

General comments: The lack of data in this situation offers little constraint on model parameters as the observation data itself may not detect SOC change, or may erroneously indicate change. This will probably be true for even very sophisticated spatial modeling approaches that try to minimize these types of errors. Before reporting such a change estimate, I would ask the authors this: how con...

In a semiarid region of central Iran, effects of parent materials, physiography and landscape position, land use, andmanagement practices on association of organic carbon with secondary (aggregates) particles and aggregate stability canhave important consequences in terms of carbon sequestration and budgeting, deciding on the proper land use strategy andsuitable soil conservation practices.
