  abstract = {{S}oil is a key compartment for climate regulation as a source of greenhouse gases ({GHG}s) emissions and as a sink of carbon. {T}hus, soil carbon sequestration strategies should be considered alongside reduction strategies for other greenhouse gas emissions. {T}aking this into account, several international and {E}uropean policies on climate change are now acknowledging the importance of soils, which means that proper, comparable and reliable information is needed to report on carbon stocks and {GHG}s emissions from soil. {I}t also implies a need for consensus on the adoption and verification of mitigation options that soil can provide. {W}here consensus is a key aspect, formal standards and guidelines come into play. {T}his paper describes the existing {ISO} soil quality standards that can be used in this context, and calls for new ones to be developed through (international) collaboration. {A}vailable standards cover the relevant basic soil parameters including carbon and nitrogen content but do not yet consider the dynamics of those elements. {S}uch methods have to be developed together with guidelines consistent with the scale to be investigated and the specific use of the collected data. {W}e argue that this standardization strategy will improve the reliability of the reporting procedures and results of the different climate models that rely on soil quality data.},
