  abstract = {{S}oil organic carbon ({C}) stocks to a depth of 30 cm were estimated for {B}razil on the basis of a map of different soil-vegetation associations ({SVA}) combined with results from a soil database. {T}he {SVA} map was derived by intersection of soil and vegetation maps. {T}he original soil and vegetation classification were simplified to six soil and 15 vegetation categories. {T}he {SVA} map comprised 21 111 map units ({MU}) that were spread into 75 different {SVA} categories. {M}ean representative {C} stocks ({RCS}) of the {SVA} categories ranged from 1.51 to 41.78 kg cm(-2). {M}ore than three fourth of all {SVA} areas had an associated {RCS} varying between 3 and 6 kg {C} m(-2). {B}ecause these data represent sites with native vegetation in the absence of significant disturbances, they represent a valuable baseline for evaluating the effect of land-use change on soil {C} stocks for {B}razil. {I}n total, about 36.4 +/- 3.4 {P}g {C} was stored in the 0- to 30-cm soil layer.},
