Soil carbon sequestration is of great significance for achieving China’s 2060 carbon neutrality goal. However, differences in carbon sequestration between arid and humid regions remain unclear. Here, based on the Chinese terrestrial ecosystems carbon density dataset, this study employed the random forest (RF) model to map soil organic carbon density (SOCD) (1 km × 1 km) in arid and humid regions, and assessed the spatial uncertainty.
